The cottage has a comfortable front room with fire and smart TV, perfect for those cosy evenings in the cooler months, leading through to the newly installed kitchen with all modern appliances. The dining room has seating for 4 guests. The bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor, fully tiled with walk-in shower and basin which nestles on a vanity unit, with overhead velux window bringing in the light. There is a separate space here with washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads out to the enclosed rear courtyard garden with table and chairs and quirky summerhouse to sit and enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down. The cottage is situated a 10 minute walk (under 1 mile) from the quaint market town of Thirsk, with its 15th-century church, original cinema and renowned racecourse. The cobbled market square hosts a twice weekly market and is surrounded by individual shops, traditional inns and tea rooms. The pub that James Herriott used to drink in with his father is situated less than 5 minutes walk away. Alf Wight, the well-known vet and author of ’All Creatures Great and Small’ lived here and the ’World of James Herriott’ visitor centre gives a fascinating insight into the working life of this famous vet, his subsequent books and TV series. The village of Sowerby provides a perfect base from which to explore the wider area too, with the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west and the North Yorkshire Moors to the east.
