About this property

Designed in a comfortable and homely manner, the property makes an ideal base for families looking to explore this magnificent region of England. Accessed through a delightful shared courtyard, enter the property into a fresh and well-equipped kitchen, which leads towards a lovely, social dining area where you can prepare and enjoy those hearty home-cooked meals at ease. Adjacent to this lies a charming and welcoming sitting room, snug leather seating along with an inviting electric fire and TV, making this a perfect relaxing spot when you're not out creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
