2 Bed in Alne (oc-t35068)

Tucked away in the rolling countryside of North Yorkshire, this charming cottage places you within easy reach of some of the county’s most celebrated sights, while still offering the peace and space of a rural escape. A short drive brings you to the historic city of York (12 miles), perfect for the medieval streets, visiting York Minster or enjoying riverside dining, while scenic journeys lead into the wide-open landscapes of the North York Moors (30 miles) and the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales (55miles). Stately homes and gardens are also close by, including the magnificent Castle Howard (27 miles) and the National Trust’s Beningbrough Hall (11 miles), with the historical ruins of Fountains Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making for a memorable day out. For sporting days closer to home, golfers will find courses nearby, and racegoers can enjoy top-class meetings at York, Thirsk and Ripon racecourses, all within easy driving distance of this wonderfully placed retreat.

Step inside this beautifully arranged, single-storey retreat and everything unfolds on the ground floor, creating an easy and relaxing flow that’s ideal for a laid-back holiday. The heart of the cottage is the bright, open-plan living space, where the sitting area invites you to unwind, and French doors open directly onto the courtyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living on warmer days. The dining area sits naturally alongside a well-equipped kitchen, making self-catering a pleasure. When it’s time to retire for the evening, there are two comfortable bedrooms: a spacious king-size room with its own TV, French doors leading out to the courtyard, and a private en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom, also with a TV, ideal for family or friends. Completing the layout is a modern family bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience throughout your stay in this welcoming countryside hideaway.

Step outside into your own enclosed courtyard garden, a peaceful and private space that’s perfect for unwinding in the fresh country air. The patio is furnished for relaxed outdoor dining and comes complete with a gas barbecue, making it easy to enjoy long, lazy lunches or evenings under the sky. Set in complete seclusion, this beautifully converted single-storey barn is surrounded by open fields and pockets of woodland. Keep an eye out for red kites and buzzards soaring overhead, barn owls gliding at dusk, and deer moving quietly through the surrounding countryside. With private parking for up to three cars, everything is in place for a stress-free stay in this wonderfully tranquil rural setting.
