The Byre

About this property

The Byre is a charming, single-storey cottage nestled in the heart of Great Broughton, North Yorkshire. With convenient off-road parking, this delightful retreat is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful escape in a picturesque country setting. Upon entering this abode, you will be greeted by a beautifully presented open-plan area, where you can unwind on the plush sofa and enjoy your favourite shows on the TV. On chillier evenings, the woodburning stove provides a warm atmosphere, perfect for snuggling up with a good book. The kitchen area is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, which can be enjoyed in the dining area. Retire to the double bedroom after a long day of exploring the local area; this room boasts an en-suite with a walk-in shower, providing a private space to freshen up each morning. Step outside to the non-enclosed front patio, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco on warmer days. The patio furniture provides a relaxing spot to sit back and unwind, taking in the peaceful surroundings of Great Broughton. Venture out of your peaceful haven to explore the local area, where you'll find the breathtaking Rievaulx Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery, steeped in history and set in a tranquil valley. Spend an afternoon strolling through the romantic ruins, taking in the stunning architecture and absorbing the peaceful atmosphere. A short distance away, you'll find the National Trust's Rievaulx Terrace, offering sweeping views across the Ryedale countryside and the abbey below. The terrace is home to a pair of Grecian-style temples, adding an air of elegance to your scenic walk. The Byre is a walker’s paradise, with 1100 miles of footpaths in the North York Moors National Park, two of which go through or next to the property. Many of the walks are challenging, but there are also gentle walks around, including in our own 42 acres of hilly woodland and rough pasture. The Coast to Coast Walk, the Cleveland Way, and the Lyke Wake Walk all pass along Hasty Bank just about half a mile above the property.

There is also fantastic cycling in the area, although much but not all of it requires either strong legs or an e-bike. After a day of exploring, return to the inviting comfort of The Byre, your home away from home in the heart of North Yorkshire.

Stokesley is an attractive, elegant, historic market town which was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, with many interesting Georgian and Victorian buildings. The River Leven flows through the town and is crossed by the ancient Pack Horse Bridge. Levenside provides visitors with a peaceful riverside walk, well planted with trees, as a contrast to the bustle of the High Street. The town has a distinguished wide cobbled main street lined with Georgian and Regency buildings. It is well served with shops, banks, public houses and restaurants and the weekly Friday markets are held on the main square. Just off the market square is the Church of St Peter & St Paul which has woodwork carved by the Mouseman of Kilburn. Surrounded by the Cleveland Hills and close to the northern edge of the North York Moors, Stokesley provides an ideal base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales, the heather clad North Yorkshire Moors and the pretty market towns of Great Ayton, Northallerton and Thirsk. The seaside spa resort of Saltburn is 30 mins drive away whilst Whitby, Runswick Bay and Robin Hoods Bay are within easy reach.
