This delightful family home boasts wonderful views of Gilling Gap from the first-floor bedrooms. The home was originally owned by a family of stonemasons who worked on local churches, houses and schools – there’s a real sense of history here.

Historic Helmsley is just a five-minute drive away.

About The North York Moors
Stretching from the coast at Whitby to the Howardian hills inland, the North York Moors National Park covers a huge swathe of the north’s wild countryside.
