About this property
A delightful mid-terrace cottage, next door to the owner's home, on the edge of the quiet rural village of Kilham, mid way between Driffield and Bridlington in the Yorkshire Wolds. A brick-built cottage with whitewashed façade and pantile roof, this character Kilham cottage boasts original beamed ceilings and a brick fireplace which houses a cosy woodburning stove. There are two comfortable bedrooms in this Driffield cottage, one with an original brick fireplace and views over open countryside. On the ground floor there is a sitting room with dining area and woodburning stove and a small, well-equipped kitchen which opens on to a patio leading to a lawned rear garden with hot tub and changing facilities.
Kilham offers one pub. Further afield are the market towns of Driffield, Beverley, Hornsea and Hunmanby, all of which offer shopping and dining facilities, plus Bridlington has award-winning, sandy beaches. RSPB Bempton Cliffs nature reserve is famous for puffins and gannets in the summer and Flamborough has wonderful limestone cliffs on view along the bracing coastal footpaths. The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route is less than a mile from the cottage, and it's on the Hockney Trail, plus the historic resort of Whitby and the delights of York are both within an easy drive. This Kilham cottage is ideally placed for a varied and interesting holiday.
The village of Kilham is situated in Yorkshire Wolds countryside, 7 miles from the town of Driffield and 9 miles from Bridlington. The village offers two pubs, a shop, a Post Office, two churches and a butchers. Excellent walking and cycling can be enjoyed nearby, or you may wish to visit Driffield with its variety of shops and tearooms and twice-weekly market, or alternatively the sandy beaches in Bridlington.

Christa
Very well equipped, lovely bedding, great little kitchen and good night lighting. The cottage suited us perfectly, great location for nearby sights. We used the hottub which was clean and nicely situated in the garden. The local pub a short walk away in the village, served very good beer, and the food looked great. Out the front door of cottage is a perfect area to walk the doggie and we enjoyed visiting Sledmere gardens, Bridlington seafront, the Old Town had a beautiful tea room. A visit to see the old and newer lighthouse at Flamborough was windy but worth it! Bempton Cliffs were superb, we had a little picnic on the grass. All in all, a beautiful cottage and plenty to see and do, thank you.

It had many great additions such as automatic lighting on the stairs, instant hot water, excellent shower, seating area with bird feeders and access to a hot tub. The location was ideal, in a lovely village and a pub within 10 minutes walking distance. We visited Driffield which is a pleasant town with artisan shops, Burton Agnes Hall which was extremely interesting with an eclectic art collection and lovely grounds and also Tophill Low nature reserve where we witnessed Kingfishers. All in all we had a very relaxing few days. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
