This welcoming, single-level property is perfect for couples or small families looking for a tranquil base from which to explore the numerous walks through beautiful countryside, ancient woodland, and the meandering rivers of the Howardian Hills. It is a half-mile stroll to the picturesque village of Crayke, where you can enjoy far-reaching views over the Vale of York. After scenic days of walking, return home for a well-deserved evening tipple in the peaceful garden that awaits.

A blend of original cottage features, such as exposed wooden beams, contemporary comforts and chic decor, create a homely feel in this charming property. Enter the lounge where you can cosy up for a romantic evening while watching your favourite film on the Smart TV. If the local eateries do not tempt you, you have all the necessary appliances to rustle up a delicious dinner or a late brunch. Admire the view out to the garden from the dining table. The property features two bedrooms; one king-size and one single (with an additional single trundle bed), both served by a well-appointed, contemporary shower room. Doors from the kitchen and one of the bedrooms lead to the private garden with a seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco on a warm evening.

There is much to explore in the local area, with the North York Moors hosting an unbeatable network of footpaths and cycle routes. Historic York (13.5 miles) offers river cruises to enjoy, the Minster to discover, and the chance to stroll down 'The Lanes' to shop or stop for something to eat. For those looking to lace up their hiking boots, head to Nunnington (11.5 miles) and explore the village, the pub and Nunnington Hall, before heading out on a peaceful stroll along the River Rye.
