Spa on the Green

About this property

A high-quality destination for friends or families, this superb apartment has plenty of space in which to spread out and relax – including an extraordinary spa in the back garden. Once a Sunday School, it’s on the green in a conservation area just metres from the centre of vibrant Richmond. From the cottage, you can even see the market town’s Norman castle, while the Georgian Theatre Royal is just 0.5 miles away. Explore the cobbled central square, surrounded by intriguing boutiques and a choice of places to eat, walk along the River Swale or head out into the spectacular scenery of the Dales – right on your doorstep. For more adventures outdoors, the North York Moors National Park can be reached in just 18 miles.

This fabulous escape is set on the ground floor of a Grade II-listed property that’s brimming with character and thoughtful details, including an array of eclectic artworks and furnishings. Step up and through the front door, and head straight into the delightful lounge, which boasts a set of sofas, a Smart TV and an open fire. It’s the ideal spot in which to snuggle up with a book or get together and indulge in a movie marathon. Another lovely space is the light-filled dining room/conservatory with its soaring roof, where everyone can gather at the rustic table for a celebratory meal or a board game, or relax on comfortable seating. Original arched windows and exposed stone walls adorn this room, which overlooks the garden. The galley-style kitchen, though relatively compact, has a luxurious feel and is equipped with everything you’ll need for creating delicious holiday meals, including a slow cooker. When you’re ready for bed, you’ll find the three handsomely decorated bedrooms on the same level (note that there are a couple of internal steps), all with Egyptian cotton linens. In one of the king-size bedrooms, there’s also a sofa bed, in case you require alternative sleeping arrangements. The bedrooms share two bathrooms: a family bathroom with an eye-catching, modern free-standing bath (with hand-held shower attachment) and a sleek wet room with a walk-in shower.

Step down into the enclosed courtyard garden at the rear and you’ll find an impressive surprise. Not only does it boast a hot tub for eight, but also an amazing private spa – with a sauna, cold plunge and Himalayan salt wall, further increasing the health benefits of this fabulously relaxing space. What a way to wind down after an energetic day in the open air! If you feel like a morning coffee in the fresh air or an evening meal alfresco, there’s also dining furniture, plus a BBQ. Parking for this property is on-street.
