Indulge in a cosy and romantic bolthole, tucked away in a pretty little village just north of York. Enjoy the best of both worlds with an idyllic rural setting, but the cosmopolitan delights of this medieval city, 13.5 miles away. And in the other direction, discover the cosmopolitan delights of Harrogate, 14 miles away. The perfect country escape for couples and small families who like to keep one foot on urban ground. Looking across to the village church in a peaceful private setting, the cottage boasts a handsome exterior with Smart red brick and white sash windows. It's just the place to squirrel yourself away for a few days with those you love best. Step inside to discover delightful, bright interiors with surprisingly spacious accommodation. Downstairs there's a small hallway home to a handy downstairs cloakroom. Make your way on through, with deliciously soft carpet underfoot, to discover the living room. At its heart is a cosy open fire set within a feature exposed brick fireplace. Grab a good book and take your pick from two comfy sofas to curl up on for the afternoon. If you enjoy settling down to a firelit movie, you'll find a Smart TV complete with DVD. Wi-Fi is also provided if you need to catch up online. The room has a bright and peaceful feel about it with natural light from two sash windows. The kitchen/diner is set on the right of the entrance hall, a large room with lots of space to enjoy. The kitchen includes an oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. There's a generous shabby chic dining table sat by the window, the perfect spot to spread out the morning papers for a long lazy breakfast. Both bedrooms are set upstairs on the first floor and are again of good proportions. The master bedroom is bathed in light from a large Velux window and features a king-size bed to retreat to each evening. Dressed in crisp cotton bedding with a luxurious throw and cushions, it's an inviting and comfortable bed. The second bedroom is set directly across, this time there's a super king-size bed which can also be configured as two singles if requested. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their own space. Please contact the owner directly to confirm how you would like the beds to be configured if different from the standard set up. The family bathroom is also upstairs. Continuing with the bright feel, this immaculate bathroom has glazed brick-style tiles and a bath with shower overhead. Indulge with a long hot soak after a day's shopping in York. Outside, you'll discover gravelled and paved areas which wrap around the private exterior of the property. A patio table and chairs are provided so you can take advantage of those lovely views across to the church. There's off-road parking available for up to two cars.
