One of five beautiful converted cottages, the property in which this home resides used to be a working farm and livery. Set in the Yorkshire countryside village of Wiggington, you'll be just a fifteen-minute drive away from York's city centre. Location is everything here, as it offers guests a tranquil setting from which to relax and unwind without compromising on all of the city's conveniences within close reach. Inside the cottage, notice the meticulous finishing touches, including the Tudor rose carving on the bedhead in the master bedroom, for example, hand-crafted by the owner who used to work as a joiner. Its details like these make this home stand out from the rest. Enjoy a group barbecue out on the private patio during the warmer months, while the inside is just as welcoming if you're staying during the winter. With modern furnishings throughout, guests can be ensured a comfortable stay with the bonus of a little bit of peace and serenity too. Top attractions nearby include the National Railway Museum and Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms, both located just 5 kilometres away – and well worth a visit when exploring York.
