Property Description

Holiday home
GROUND FLOOR   Enter the cottage into the hallway, which leads into the smart, well-equipped kitchen with quality, cream painted Shaker-style units and beech work surfaces; it has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave. The sitting room is a good size with an open fire, which is wonderful to cosy up in front of during the cooler months, plus there's comfortable sofas to sink down into after a day's walking across the moors, sightseeing or sunbathing on the beach. A Smart TV enables you to access your NetFlix account so you can catch up on those programmes you've been promising yourself! There's also a small library of books available in the cottage to enjoy during your stay. The dining area has glorious views, looking out over the lovely River Esk so you can enjoy meals whilst admiring the vista and listening to the water cascading below - so relaxing! There is a Juliet balcony plus a small balconied area outside to sit and sip your morning coffee as the sun comes up or enjoy a glass of chilled fizz before supper. A corner of the living area has a small mezzanine area that is home to a desk and chair, a lovely spot to sit and read - or maybe write a few postcards to let friends know what a wonderful holiday you are enjoying in this charming village 'twixt the stunning North York Moors and Yorkshire's beautiful coast with its golden sandy beaches.   FIRST FLOOR   The cottage has two double bedrooms, one has a double bed in wrought iron and overlooks the river and the second bedroom has an elegant brass bed and overlooks the front of the property. Both bedrooms have a chandelier and built-in wardrobes offering plenty of storage.   The stylish bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath, a shower over, WC and hand wash basin within a vanity unit.   OUTSIDE   There is private parking for one car to the front; there is a small outside area overlooking the river with seating to sit and enjoy the view - maybe over a Yorkshire cream tea? - during the summer months.  

Area
The pretty village of Grosmont sits at the junction of the River Esk and Murk Esk in the midst of striking North Yorkshire Moors scenery. The area is characterised by its narrow roads, steep hills and scenic views over valleys of patchwork fields and wide-open expanses of moorland. Grosmont itself lies in the ‘Heartbeat Country’ and is famous for being the home of the North York Moors Steam Railway. The Railway has been preserved and run by enthusiasts since 1973 and today carries upwards of 300,000 passengers a year. The village has a general store, post office, book shop, art gallery, cafes and a pub. It makes a great base for exploring the many pretty farming villages along the Esk Valley and the wider North York Moors National Park, as well as the North Yorkshire Coastline with characterful harbour towns and villages.
