This charming retreat makes an idyllic holiday home for a couple with a pet dog seeking a tranquil getaway. A fabulous base for exploring the North Yorkshire countryside, this delightful one-bedroom property lies within the magnificent grounds of Kirkby Fleetham Hall, a Grade II listed country house dating back to the 18th century. Featuring private woodland, beautifully landscaped gardens, a lake and the historic church of St Mary’s, the cottage is a wonderful retreat in gorgeous rural surroundings. Just a mile from the picturesque village of Kirkby Fleetham, the cottage is perfectly positioned for the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
Entering this ground floor property which is set in the east wing of the main house, you will find an elegant lounge/diner which is a lovely space to unwind in, with beautiful views over the garden and towards the lake. The galley kitchen is fully equipped and a pleasure to cook in. Exploring further, the cosy bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed and a handy en-suite shower room. Outside, there’s a delightful terrace perfect for a morning coffee. You can also enjoy the extensive grounds and parkland. The lawn by the lake opposite the property makes a lovely spot for a picnic, or you can follow your canine companion through the private woodland.
