This charming stone home dates back more than 200 years. It’s in the pretty village of Hovingham on the edge of the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so is ideal for hikers and lovers of the Great Outdoors. When you’re not visiting nearby Castle Howard or playing tennis on the village courts, you might spend your time stretching out in the enclosed garden. There’s a Weber barbecue, too, so you can easily dine alfresco and enjoy the sunshine for longer.
