3 Bedroom Cottage in Middlesbrough

An elegant barn conversion situated within an outstanding farm setting, enveloped by the rolling North Yorkshire hills. This quintessential country escape is perfect for families or small groups of friends escaping into nature. Take a stroll beneath the intricate archways of Rievaulx Abbey (9 miles) before hosting a balmy al fresco soiree on the patio with a blissful country backdrop.

This property offers a stylish blend of traditional features and modern flair. Enjoy vaulted beams, wooden textures, creamy neutral tones, and clean lines. Unlace muddy boots in the utility room then pad along the hallway into the light-soaked open-plan living space. Cook up a storm in the wood-panelled kitchen or gather around the spacious island to sip aperitifs and graze through a snack board. Pour over guidebooks perched at the long dining table, then clear away space to scoff a celebratory family feast. After dinner, sink onto the plump corner sofa with dessert as the resident games master sets up the evening entertainment. In warmer months, step through the garden doors and soak up balmy summer evenings on the patio. Discover three inviting bedrooms to rest up in, consisting of an en-suite king-size, a bright double, and a twin. Outdoors, unwind on the patio with a morning coffee as you drink in the sweeping emerald countryside.

Peruse the 12th-century stone structure of Helmsley Castle (10.5 miles) or spot the birds swooping in the landscaped parklands of the National Centre for Birds of Prey (11.5 miles). Refresh on hot days with a refreshing dip in the wonderfully nostalgic Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool (11 miles).
