An attractive Grade II-listed cottage in a delightful courtyard, within 350 metres of the ruins of Easby Abbey and 1.5 miles from the historic town of Richmond. Featuring bright and airy living spaces, comfortable bedrooms and a designated outdoor area, the cottage is well-suited to small families with dogs seeking adventure in the Yorkshire Dales.
The cottage immediately feels like home the moment you arrive from the courtyard, thanks to beautifully-lit rooms adorned with contemporary rustic furnishings. The lounge/diner, with its feature fireplace and original sash windows, is the perfect place to curl up throughout the day with loved ones. The modern kitchen is only a few paw prints away, with more than enough room to create guilt-free favourites using local ingredients. Scurry upstairs and you’ll find the family bathroom and three welcoming bedrooms: a spacious king-size bedroom, and 2 single bedrooms. There is a designated seating area on the gravel just outside the cottage, a quiet place to pore over local guidebooks with a morning coffee or toast to a day well spent at dusk.
The cottage lies in Easby, an idyllic hamlet dominated by the ruins of Easby Abbey and the undulating grounds surrounding Easby Hall. Dogs are welcome to wander the ruins and sniff their way along the footpaths running alongside the River Swale, which cuts through the estate. The cobbled streets and narrow wynds (alleys) of Richmond (1.5 miles) are home to an array of independent shops, dog-friendly pubs and cafes, along with an imposing Norman castle. The Yorkshire Dales (2.5 miles) is home to endless rolling hills, meandering rivers and picture-postcard villages and market towns just waiting to be discovered.
