Within a couple of hundred metres of the iconic market town’s thriving square, this bright and airy property, part of an exclusive, gated development, offers a stylish home-from-home for a family or group of friends bringing a trusted hound on their holibobs. Surrounded by glorious rolling countryside with sweeping moorland valleys over the hill, this two-storey property would be perfect for active holidaymakers who love being in the great outdoors. Enjoying spacious living areas, the property is festooned with modern creature comforts, including underfloor heating, contemporary furnishings and an enclosed courtyard garden.
The ground floor of the property is dominated by an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, flooded with natural light from its south-facing French doors which will shine on early risers and afternoon snoozers alike. Diners can enjoy a hearty meal prepared in the adjacent kitchen before rolling onto one of the large sofas to lose themselves in their favourite TV series. The wood burner will come into its own during the winter months, a go-to for cold walkers and shivering dogs. The first floor offers two bedrooms, a king-size bedroom and a double bedroom, both with en-suite shower rooms and TVs. The second floor is dominated by a king-size bedroom with a TV and console table and armchair, and en-suite shower room. A lawned area sits to the front of the property, while an enclosed courtyard garden sits to the rear, perfect for an al fresco brunch or something more substantial later on.
Helmsley offers a range of dog-friendly shops, pubs and eateries, as well as an imposing castle where four-footed guests are welcome. For something a little different, the National Centre for Birds of Prey and Walled Garden (both 1 mile) offer a chance to get closer to nature of a different kind. For a longer day out, Dalby Forest (25 miles) is crisscrossed by woodland footpaths and trails sure to wear the whole party out.
