About this property
Wilberfoss 1.1 miles. Enjoying the amazing landscapes of the surrounding countryside, on the outskirts of Wilberfoss, East Riding of Yorkshire, is this fabulous, semi-detached barn conversion of The Cart House. Offering lovely rural views, set next to fields and farmlands whilst being within reach of York and the North York Moors National Park, The Cart House provides a family of up to eight with access to a bit of everything during their stay. This contemporary holiday home offers sufficient off-road parking with EV charging points. Head inside to be dazzled by a beautifully designed open-plan living space, where rustic exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and modern furnishings give the space a sumptuous touch. Make your way to the sitting room and grab a seat on one of the plush seating options, before unwinding and enjoying the natural light flooding in through the large bi-fold doors. The well-equipped kitchen is home to attractive shaker-style units and a large central island with quartz worktops; here, the chef of the group will enjoy fixing up delectable meals. When food is served it can be enjoyed at the sleek breakfast bar or over at the eight-seater dining table with a glass of wine. After dinner, venture to the lounge, another stylish spot with plenty of seating to offer, along with a TV; the snug, which occupies twin beds is partitioned off from this area. Amuse yourselves further with traditional board/floor games, relax with a book or listen to music on the Bluetooth speaker. The ground floor is also home to the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath. The first floor is where three tastefully furnished bedrooms await, with one offering a king sized bed with en-suite shower room. You will also find a twin room with en-suite shower room, and a further king size room. Outside, you'll be happy to find a large rear garden with a lush lawn, as well as a patio which is perfect for a spot of summertime alfresco dining. Embark on a short drive to the local village of Wilberfoss, where you will find a well-stocked convenience store/Post Office and the welcoming Oddfellows Arms Pub. For a day out, venture to the Historic City of York, boasting over 30 attractions with its famous Minster, one of the largest Cathedrals in Europe, and the acclaimed JORVIK Viking Centre. Explore the cobbled streets of The Shambles, take a stroll around the ancient Roman walls, or perhaps visit the National Railway Museum and immerse yourself in the home of iconic locomotives. The property is well placed for visiting the nearby market towns of Pocklington with the unique Burnby Hall Gardens featuring over eighty varieties of water lilies, Beverley and Malton. An easy drive through the beautiful North York Moors National Park brings you to the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough, providing fun for all the family.

We were 6 adults and a baby of nearly 10 months. All the adults enjoyed the pleasure of en suite rooms on the first floor or the bathroom close by on the ground floor. Very comfortable beds and a very impressive kitchen , large dining area and lounge. Electric charging points at the property were also a boon in terms of time saving and reasonable costs. Quiet location on a beef cattle and arable farm and the 9 month old really enjoyed seeing the cattle grazing each day and learned to say Moo over the course of the week! We also saw a hare. Very good location for Park and Ride at Grimston Bar to get into York easily and visit its most famous tourist spots.Also gave us the opportunity to visit Whitby and Castle Howard.Also visited Pocklington to meet up with friends who live in York and ate lunch there and had delicious ice creams in the High Street .
