Sitting just 8 miles from the majestic Richmond Castle, escape to this wonderful abode situated in this traditional country estate and explore the array of charming towns, heritage sites and walks which surround you. Tucked at the end of a welcoming tree-lined lane, make yourself right at home in the cosy corners and outside spaces which invite you to relax and unwind at this home-from-home. With a delightful farm shop just 7 miles from your door and a welcome pack filled with goodies and treats, you will have everything you need to whet your appetite and feast upon fresh local produce throughout your retreat. Foodies, history enthusiasts and walkers, this is the holiday location for you! This bolthole is perfectly suited to small families or groups of friends to enjoy spending quality time together away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sophisticated style and light flow from room to room. Warming the lounge is a wood burner perfect for lighting on drizzly nights to keep you toasty as you while away time cosying up and relaxing in front of the TV. To chill out and enjoy a peaceful moment, head to the snug and curl up with a book and a cup of tea from the convenient kitchenette, throw open the patio doors for a breath of fresh air and let the breeze whip through the space, bringing the outside in. When the evenings draw out and the sun shines until late, step outside onto the decking and sip a tipple in the wood burning hot tub where you can gaze across views of the grounds and enjoy a soothing soak. Contemporary and bright, the kitchen/diner is a wonderful place to cook up a storm and experiment with flavour; showcase your culinary skills and dine at the elegant table or head outside and eat alfresco on the patio. For a night off from the kitchen, light up the BBQ and savour delicious tastes or travel 7.5 miles to a nearby Michelin-star restaurant where you can wine and dine to your heart’s content. Escapes to the country are all about days spent exploring and nights spent rejuvenating and resting ahead of your next adventure. Drifting off to sleep is a real treat in this charming home where a super king-size and a king-size bedroom invite you to switch off and enjoy a moment of quiet. Beautifully decorated in calming tones, you will have no problem slipping off to sleep and waking up ready for the day feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Freshen up in style in the fabulously styled bathroom and shower room. Quirky tiles add character and charm to the luxuriously large showers so you can rinse and feel reinvigorated each morning. If your muscles ache from roaming the surrounding landscapes, soak in the bath to feel soothed and take a tranquil moment for yourself.
