Smithy Cottage

About this property

Sledmere 2.5 miles. Tucked away in a peaceful position amongst the rural greenery of the small village of Kirby Grindalythe rests this charming, four-bedroom detached holiday home, Smithy Cottage. Boasting a traditional, wooden interior and offering a spacious yet homely layout, Smithy Cottage makes an excellent base for a group getaway to North Yorkshire. Park up in one of the off-road spaces provided and make your way inside this lovely abode to begin your staycation, removing your shoes and outerwear as you step into the entrance hallway, where a grand wooden staircase takes centre stage. Moving through the property, discover the spacious kitchen, traditionally-appointed with wooden cupboards and terracotta tiled flooring and complete with a snug bench seating area, perfect for sharing a bottle of wine with the designated chef. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious dining room, where a large table offers ample seating for all guests to gather together to enjoy a hearty meal or a game of cards in the evening. At the end of an action-packed day, retreat to one of two sitting rooms to catch up on your favourite shows on the television, or flick on a children's movie for the little ones to enjoy as you soak in the last of the evening sunshine with a seat in the rear garden. Following the grand staircase up to the first floor, you'll discover four well-presented bedrooms, three doubles, with two benefiting from access to their own en-suite, whilst a family room offers the ideal sleeping quarters for families, friends or children sharing. In the morning, enjoy a leisurely wake-up with a blissful soak amongst the bubbles in the family bathroom before heading out for the day. Take advantage of your peaceful, countryside setting and embark on a two-footed adventure through the rural landscape that envelopes your holiday home, or head to the rolling peaks of the nearby Howardian Hills, where miles of wildlife and natural beauty are waiting to be explored. If you fancy a break from the kitchen, head to Sledmere and tuck-in to a delicious spot of pub fare at the local pub, The Triton Inn, or fuel the day's excursions with a hearty breakfast at the Sledmere Farm Shop & Café. Avid golfers are sure to be delighted with a visit to the nearby market town of Driffield, home to the 18-hole course at Driffield Golf Club, whilst the bustling high-street provides an array of boutique and independent stores to allow visitors to indulge in a spot of retail therapy. For a change of pace, visit the historic city of York, where you can get dressed to the nines and try your luck at York Racecourse, marvel at the inspiration behind Harry Potter's Diagon Alley with a stroll through The Shambles, or take a step back in time with a handful of fascinating museums to choose from. However you plan to spend your time, be sure to choose Smithy Cottage as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
