Inviting Staithes Retreat

One of four cosy barn conversions adjacent to the owner's country house, this one-bedroom retreat is a wonderful hideaway for a couple. Inside, the living spaces are brimming with character, adorned with original floorboards, wooden beams and feature barn windows. The accommodation also enjoys the shared use of a games room and a 4-acre paddock, so there is lots to do without even having to leave this pretty setting.

Make yourselves instantly comfortable in the open-plan living area where leather sofas surround a TV and a crackling wood burner. Stoke the flames as you watch your favourite programmes or head into the kitchen to whip up some snacks. A dining table offers plenty of room for romantic suppers. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom. When night falls, head up the stairs to the gallery double bedroom which overlooks the living space down below through a wooden balustrade. Outside, a small patio provides a place to sit and soak up the sunshine or if you fancy stretching your legs, you can also make use of the owner's 4-acre paddock. And if that's not enough, there is a games room in the owner's home which is shared with the other three cottages on site.

Just 1.5 miles from the captivating fishing village of Staithes, there's lots to do when you fancy a day out. Peruse the shops and galleries along the village's winding cobbled streets or head into the Staithes Heritage Museum to learn more about the area's most famous former resident, Captain James Cook. Or if you're longing for some outdoor adventures, the property is surrounded by the rolling countryside of the North York Moors National Park, with Easington Beck and Roxby Beck within easy reach.
