This holiday retreat is situated in the charming town of Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire, just 15 miles from the historic city of York. Nestled down a secluded private drive, it offers a serene escape while providing easy access to various outdoor activities. Guests can explore the scenic York Wolds Way, cycle along the picturesque Pocklington Canal, or embark on one of the 15 local circular walks with their dogs. The town also features a vibrant weekly market, where visitors can find an array of local goods, from fresh flowers to handcrafted furniture. For those seeking excitement, two nearby racecourses, York and Beverley, are just a short drive away.
Upon entering the stunning farmhouse, guests are welcomed by a boot room, ideal for storing coats and outdoor gear after a day of exploration. The spacious country-style kitchen/diner is designed for family gatherings, featuring a large island with a wine fridge and doors that open to an enclosed patio. The handcrafted dining table provides a perfect setting for evening meals, while two inviting lounges offer a cozy atmosphere for film nights, complete with wood burners that enhance the warmth of the space. The property also includes a large utility room equipped with a washing machine and a separate WC for added convenience.
Accommodations within the farmhouse are thoughtfully arranged to cater to families and groups. The upper floor features two charming family bedrooms, each furnished with a double bed and a single, complemented by en suite shower rooms.
