The attractive village of Great Ayton lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, at the foot of the Cleveland Hills. Great Ayton is famous for being the boyhood home of Captain Cook where you can now visit The Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. The village consists of a mixture of pretty stone cottages, two village greens, and a river running alongside, making it a popular picnic spot in the summer months. To the north of the village, the view is dominated by Roseberry Topping, a 330-metre-high hill. There are a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways within 500 metres. Around the village are several interesting walks, with Great Ayton making a great base for walkers wishing to explore the stunning countryside. Open the gate and head down the Victorian-style path into your luxury home from home arranged over three floors. The property has been carefully considered with an array of bespoke, high-quality finishes.
