Fresh from the Farm Wigginton, North Yorkshire

Property Description

It's no mean feat to find somewhere in a charming, rural spot that's super close to the historic city centre of York. But this charming little home pulls it off with aplomb. A converted farm building in a scenic location around twenty-five minutes from town by car, it's a perfect retreat for a couple or a small family. Owned by Guy and Tracey's family for generations, they've turned the former farm and livery into a small group of exclusive homes, each with its own unique character. Where cows used to be housed, there's now a sleek, modern home with skylights and a fabulous log burning stove. There's a smart kitchen with everything you'll need to cook at home and a dining table for up to four. Or choose to eat outside, where your table and chairs overlook your pretty garden and the paddocks beyond. Guy, who used to be a joiner, has used his skills to handcraft some of the furniture in the cottage – including the impressive backlit headboard in the bedroom.
