Before stepping into this charming property, take a moment to savour its rustic stone exterior and the surrounding greenery that sets the scene for a peaceful stay. Head inside to find that the character continues in the form of exposed beams, recessed windows, and original stonework. Uncover chic furnishings, calming hues, and antique touches that add to the charm. The farmhouse-style kitchen is like a page from a country cottage magazine, boasting wooden floors and a roaring wood burner, as well as everything needed for cooking up Yorkshire feasts. A large wooden table here invites the group to gather and plan tomorrow's adventures over dinner. Move through to the restful lounge, where another wood burner invites you to cosy up on the soft furnishings and find your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When it's time to call it a night, four country-style bedrooms await, all offering rural views to wake up to. The ground floor hosts a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a super-king-size bedroom that can be converted to a twin room on request. Up on the first floor, set under the eaves of the house, a twin bedroom and a single room with an en-suite bathroom await. Completing the home is a beautiful family bathroom.
The country charm extends to the peaceful outdoor space, where a sun-soaked cottage garden invites you to step outside and unwind together. Gather at the outdoor furniture for al fresco evening tipples and meals, pick fresh herbs and strawberries from the patch, and let the children unwind in the well-appointed shared games barn. On street parking is available, although it’s best to park in the free village car park, less than 100 metres away.
