A comfortable cottage compromised by steep stairs between the ground floor kitchen and the rest of the accomodation. The kitchen breakfast bar is very small so carrying everything upstairs for a meal is awkward. The property is well appointed and in an excellent location in the centre of Helmsley with easy access to shops and restaurants. On site parking in this busy town is a bonus.
