This charming cottage, located approximately 15 miles from Central York in North Yorkshire, offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Nestled near the medieval cobbled streets, shops, cafes, and restaurants that define York, this property is a perennial favorite among travelers who return year after year. Its proximity to the Yorkshire coast, including the popular seaside resort of Hornsea, which is less than 40 miles away, adds to its appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring the rich history and beautiful landscapes of the region.
Inside, the cottage boasts a welcoming open plan living space that seamlessly integrates the lounge, kitchen, and dining area. Underfloor heating throughout ensures a cozy atmosphere, keeping guests warm and comfortable even during the chillier months. The lounge is thoughtfully furnished with ample seating and various entertainment options, while the kitchen, located at the rear, exudes a quintessential country cottage charm with its solid worktops and bespoke handmade units. An oak dining table positioned between the kitchen and lounge provides a snug setting for enjoying meals, whether it’s a hearty breakfast or a romantic candlelit dinner.
The accommodation features two elegantly appointed bedrooms, with the first located on the ground floor, bathed in natural light from dual aspect windows. Adjacent to this bedroom is a family bathroom with convenient Jack and Jill access, making it easily accessible from both the bedroom and the main living area. The second bedroom is situated upstairs and offers a king-sized bed that can be converted into two singles, catering to different guest needs and preferences.
Outside, guests can enjoy a stone and gravel patio that overlooks a horse's paddock, providing stunning views of the picturesque Yorkshire countryside. The outdoor space is equipped with furniture and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining on warm evenings. However, it is important to note that the property features a duck pond, and as such, the owners welcome children over the age of eight and infants only. The gravel path leading to the cottage may not be suitable for wheelchair users, ensuring that guests are aware of accessibility considerations before their stay.
