Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Healaugh

Accommodation details

This cosy country barn conversion will win your heart from the moment you set foot on the property. Surrounded by beautiful gardens with views of the Yorkshire Dales National Park enveloping the grounds, this is an idyllic spot for a romantic retreat with your loved one. Just 12 miles away in Richmond, you'll be able to spend days exploring the picturesque market town, soaking up history at the castle and heading off on whimsical walks to spot local wildlife.

The living room has been thoughtfully designed to encourage you to kick back and relax, with a comfortable corner sofa and a roaring wood burner filling the space. Characterful exposed beams overhead paired with the wooden furniture add warmth to the decor of the room, while the large arched window set into the exposed stone wall allows light to pour in.

Down the hall you'll find the pretty pastel kitchen which has everything you need to cook up a storm, with a dining table adjoining the room, seating four offering the perfect place to gather for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Above the living room on the mezzanine, you'll find the gallery filled with natural light which is a perfect place to sit and read a book.

Completing the property is the bedroom with a country style, feature furniture and a king-size bed. What's more, the room enjoys an en-suite shower room, in addition to the family bathroom so you can take your pick from a long bath or a quick shower. Outside, the south-facing garden is a haven for relaxation with a selection of mature perennial plants and plenty of places for you to take a seat and soak up the sunshine.

For a spot of history, why not pay a visit to Bolton Castle? Dating back to 1399, the castle itself is impressive with a dungeon, kitchens, armoury and courtyard to explore, whilst the falconry displays and tearooms offer something a little different. Travel south to Aysgarth Falls (11 miles) for a blissful walk on the River Use.

Here, you can stop off for a bite to eat at the cafe, or sit and gaze at the mesmerising sight of the cascade, surrounded by rich flora and fauna.
