The Barn and The Stables are two charming semi-detached barn conversions located in the idyllic village of Kilham, nestled in the Yorkshire Wolds of East Riding of Yorkshire. These properties have been meticulously renovated to offer spacious, bright rooms, highlighted by expansive glass windows that provide stunning views of a shared garden. With a capacity to accommodate up to five guests across two well-appointed bedrooms, both properties promise a restful stay, featuring tastefully decorated interiors and deep mattresses for a peaceful night's sleep. The location is ideal for those wishing to explore the beautiful Yorkshire coastline and the picturesque hills, making it a perfect getaway for walkers, cyclists, and families alike.
The Stables boasts a generous open-plan living area adorned with an exposed beamed ceiling and a large fireplace equipped with a wood burner, creating a cozy atmosphere. It includes two double-sized bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds that can be zipped together. A separate snug room, complete with a dining table and an open fire, adds to the charm, while the bathroom features a shower over a sunken bath. Though the property is mainly on the ground level, there are several steps to navigate, including access to the bedrooms and kitchen, and an out-of-bounds first-floor area with limited headroom.
Guests can enjoy the outdoor space with private patio areas for each property, perfect for morning coffee or evening alfresco dining. The shared garden benefits from ample sunlight throughout the day. Just a short stroll from the properties leads to the village center, where visitors can find two local pubs known for their real ale and delicious food, as well as a convenience shop for essentials. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding countryside features a network of public footpaths and bridleways, offering ample opportunities for exploration. The nearby market town of Driffield is a short drive away, providing access to independent shops, tea rooms, and a weekly market.
The area is rich with attractions, including stately homes like Sewerby Hall and Castle Howard, and coastal towns such as Scarborough and Bridlington, all within a thirty-minute drive. For a fun-filled day, the Alpamare water park in Scarborough is a great option for families. Nature lovers can visit the chalk cliffs of Flamborough and the Bempton RSPB Reserve for breathtaking coastal views. The historic city of York is also less than an hour away, making these properties an excellent base for a holiday in the Wolds. With private parking, a bike store, and the option to book both properties together for larger groups, The Barn and The Stables cater to a variety of guests, ensuring a memorable stay in this beautiful region of Yorkshire.
