This pretty cottage is a treat for canines who like to follow their noses along footpaths, lanes and leafy trails. Welcoming couples, families and two four-legged friends, it’s the perfect place to relax after days spent walking in the Howardian Hills or exploring Yorkshire’s stunning scenery further afield.
Set out on a single level, the property combines comfort with light, bright rooms and plenty of space to relax and unwind. The lounge is airy and inviting, with generous seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner that makes evenings feel warm and cosy. The kitchen, which includes a breakfast bar, boasts a microwave and a dishwasher, and has plenty of space on the tiled floor for pet beds and bowls. Leads can hang neatly in the hall, and you may find the utility room (where there’s also a tumble dryer) is a good place to store your mutts’ food and those all-important treats. There’s space in the dining room to linger over meals while enjoying the garden views through the patio doors. Three peaceful bedrooms, all with TVs, share a sleek shower room with underfloor heating. Wrapping around the house, the garden includes a large patio, BBQ area and a lawn where children and four-pawed pals can play. Off-road parking is available for two cars.
The bungalow is located just outside the lovely village of Alne, with scenic walks all around. Just 7 miles away lie the Howardian Hills, one of the finest landscapes in the UK, where you and your pets can explore a multitude of varied routes through wooden hills and scenic river valleys. Pop your furry friends on their leads and visit dog-friendly Castle Howard, 18 miles away, or let them run among the 11 acres of the beautiful Yorkshire Arboretum, 17.5 miles away.
