This beautifully intimate cottage is a delightful countryside retreat. When you peek out of your low cottage windows at the sunrise, you’re never far away from rolling green views. Enjoy a slow morning with a cuppa in bed, or venture into York for a spot of brunch, which is a mere ten-minute drive away. Downstairs is delightfully cosy. After a day in the fresh air, pop your feet up with a glass of wine and listen to the crackle of your log burner as it warms your feet. Perfect for a couple's break, this home is bright and contemporary whilst still maintaining all the quaint delights you would expect from a countryside cottage. Take a stroll out of your gated community to become acquainted with the local wildlife and livestock. This is what dreams are made of, something you’ll realise as you enjoy the peace and quiet that such a setting surrounded by nature provides. For the lighter summer evenings, wander onto your outdoor patio to watch the sunset and for those cooler winter nights, sink into the sofa for a well-deserved movie night. This little red brick wonder is good for the soul! The meticulous touches are noticeable throughout... and will make your break away just that little more special.
