Applewood
A detached single-level cottage at the edge of the pretty village of Harome in Ryedale, moments from the North York Moors National Park.
Located in the quintessentially English village of Harome in Ryedale, just off the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, Applewood is a delightful single-level cottage for two. Accessed from a quiet lane at the edge of the village with views across pastoral fields, it’s a peaceful retreat from which to enjoy the many historic sites, thriving food scene, and stunning landscapes of North Yorkshire. Look forward to setting out on excellent walks straight from your doorstep, including along the banks of the nearby River Riccal in an area which is popular for birdwatching. For days out, hikers will enjoy the endless trails in the hills, while history enthusiasts are within easy reach of the grand Castle Howard and the magnificent city of York, which is less than an hour’s drive away.
The accommodation is all set on ground floor level and is fitted with cosy underfloor heating, keeping you warm and comfortable throughout the seasons. Enter the cottage into the open-plan living area, which is spacious and light with the very high, airy ceilings dotted with skylights. The modern kitchen includes ample counter space for preparing meals, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine for delicious morning coffees. Next to the kitchen, a circular dining table is joined by seating for four guests, creating an open and sociable space to relax and dine. Across the room, a comfortable seating area encompasses a wood burning stove, a TV, and collection of board games and books to keep you entertained in the evenings.
Outside, an enclosed gravelled and paved garden with raised beds lies beside the cottage, including a shaded dining area under a pergola with seating for four which is covered with climbing wisteria, roses, honeysuckle and grapevines. Peaceful and private, thanks to the cottage being tucked away from its neighbours behind hedges and planting, it’s a wonderfully shady and beautifully-scented spot to enjoy meals in the summertime. The large fields beyond the cottage invite relaxed walks and are excellent for birdwatching, including spotting Red Kites, while there are endless trails for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers in the nearby North York Moors National Park.
