Blessed with a well-proportioned and beautifully decorated interior, plus a perfect position in the quaint North Yorkshire market town of Masham, this flat promises a real change of pace. On entry, step straight into the well-lit open kitchen and living room, complete with a leather seating area and a farmhouse-style dining table for four, so there's plenty of room to socialise and relax while you get dinner on the go.

Head through to the two bedrooms and you'll discover soothing spaces with light, neutral decor and comfy beds that make slipping off a cinch. The main bedroom enjoys direct access to a private outdoor seating area for sipping your morning coffee – it makes the ideal addition to the larger communal yard, which is equipped with an outdoor dining area for alfresco feasts. Finally, the generously proportioned family bathroom is perfect for personal pampering sessions, with storage behind the mirror to store your sundries.

Nestled on the banks of the River Ure, the small rural community of Masham has plenty to offer including picturesque walks through stunning countryside, challenging bike rides along a section of the Tour de France, or touring either of the two breweries and sipping pints at its four pubs. Further afield, you're under a forty-minute drive from Harrogate and the famous Betty's Tea Room.
