This imaginatively converted Grade II listed former church offers cosy, welcoming and unique accommodation for couples looking for a lovely retreat on the outskirts of the beautiful North York Moors.
Located in the picturesque hamlet of Carlton, this fabulous two-bedroom church conversion will set tails wagging at its quirky interior and rural location. Step out of the front door and onto the footpath leading through the woods to the bustling village of Helmsley (0.5 miles) or through the hamlet to reach open fields and forests. Sniff out your favourite path along the North York Moors (4 miles) and the Howardian Hills (5 miles) for relaxed walks through the scenic landscape.
Your stunning holiday home has retained many of its original features including hand-painted ceiling arches, original pews, fonts, and stained-glass windows. Your lounge/diner is an atmospheric space being part of the original church. After a day of outdoor activities, light the wood burner and relax with your hound in its gentle heat. The bright and airy kitchen/diner is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals for the whole family. Your master bedroom is a king-size and there is a second lounge with double sofa bed. There is a family bathroom and a separate wet room. Stepping outside, dine alfresco on your private terrace as your hound stretches out in the sun.
With walks from the doorstep, this charming cottage is a delight for dogs and their owners. Take the lead with a visit to Duncombe Park National Nature Reserve (1.5 miles), where you can enjoy rambles along the riverbank or roam through the shady woodland. Explore the beautiful gardens at Nunnington Hall (5.5 miles) and stroll through the flowering meadows and tea garden. Further afield, go barking mad at the dog-friendly facilities at Castle Howard (13.5 miles), where there are lovely walks around the grounds and canine ice cream available in the cafe.
