This pretty Victorian cottage stands attached to the owner’s 16th-century property, amidst the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Spacious, well-presented and very comfortable, the cottage enjoys a bespoke kitchen and a private, enclosed sunny courtyard garden, which is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. There are numerous walking and cycling trails from the doorstep and in the surrounding area of the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The quaint Georgian town of Easingwold is only 3 miles away and hosts a thriving market, and the cobbled square is lined with teashops, bistros and interesting independent shops. The cottage is ideally placed for exploring the picturesque villages of Crayke, Oldstead and Harome, all with award-winning inns and restaurants.
