About this property

Nestled on a working cattle farm, on the outskirts of the village of Welbury, seven miles from the market town of Northallerton, is this rustic detached cottage, The Chalet. Privately fenced, this superb bungalow sits in the grounds of a farmhouse, and is accessed by a mile long farm track sitting adjacent to the Teesside/York railway line, with easy access to the A19 and enjoying views of the open countryside. This single-storey property is more suited to those looking for a peaceful escape and has been equipped for those with limited mobility, with no internal steps, ramped access, grab handles, a raised toilet and a shower seat. This is an ideal escape for couples, cyclists, walkers or a perfect holiday base for a group of six. Be greeted by a private gated driveway, where you can leave your vehicle secure as you admire the rural land before you, home to livestock and far-reaching fields, open countryside and the North Yorkshire Moors. Step up the ramp or access steps onto a lovely decking area to pass the threshold and into a utility room, complete with coat and shoe storage, a washing machine and a sink unit. The adjoining shower room is ready to greet you after a day out exploring, having adventures and making memories in beautiful North Yorkshire. Family relaxing time can be spent in the welcoming open-plan living space, decorated in neutral tones for an inviting atmosphere, home to a well-equipped kitchen nestled alongside a dining area with an oak table and six chairs, and a sitting area with a leather suite to sit and rest, engross in a novel or watch a movie on the Smart TV while cosying up to the woodburning stove. French doors lead you back onto the outside decked area where you can enjoy the afternoon/evening sun. Presented to a high standard is a lovely master bedroom with king size bed and fitted storage, a TV with DVD player and an en-suite bathroom complete with a basin, raised toilet, a separate walk-in shower cubicle and a bath tub, ideal for relaxing after a day out in the country. You will also find a further double bedroom with fitted cupboards, vanity unit and TV with DVD player and a smaller third bedroom presented as a twin. There is a private enclosed patio area to the front with a picnic table and an enclosed rear garden with a second patio area with dining furniture which captures the morning sun and has stunning views over the North Yorkshire Moors. There is an array of good country walks from the doorstep, whilst the local town of Northallerton offers markets twice weekly, independent shops, excellent restaurants, tea rooms and the train station for excursions. A golf course and leisure centre are also in the offering, or visit the James Herriott Experience in the historic market town of Thirsk, just a scenic drive away. The immediate area has several farm shops and eateries with the nearest pub in Welbury Village, The Duke of Wellington, being 1.7 miles away. Appleton Wiske, (3.7 miles), has a grocery shop and Post Office and The Lord Nelson pub. East Rounton (3.5 miles) boasts a farm shop and café “Roots”, while West Rounton (3.25 miles) has a garden centre with café “Whitegates” and The Horse Shoe Inn. This excellent holiday base is within driving distance of the historic city of York, the Spa Town of Harrogate, and the new must go to Barnard Castle. The coastal resorts of Saltburn and Whitby are an excellent day out with even a steam train ride in the offering. Also nearby, are the Yorkshire Dales and the heather-clad North York Moors National Parks, both of which are well-worth exploring. If shopping is your thing, Teesside Shopping and Leisure park is 20 minutes away. Several horse racing venues, golf courses and the Croft Car racing circuit are all in easy reach. Those who relish the outdoors may wish to visit Cod Beck Reservoir at Osmotherley (6 miles) for a nature trail, or there is Renny Lakes at East Harlsey (2 miles) which boasts an abundance of wildlife and is a fantastic spot for fishing. For a recuperating escape to rural North Yorkshire with so much to explore, secure your stay at The Chalet, Broomfields Farm.

  • William

    The chalet was exactly as was described in the bio and more. Extremely clean, comfortable lounge furniture, dressed with a Christmas tree. It has everything you need for a homely holiday:- we had a wonderful quiet Christmas break, mum cooked the dinner in the chalet and had everything to hand. We played board games (sure mum cheats) and was a reminder to enjoy family. The chalet is perfectly situated in beautiful farm land, we had a hooley blowing during the evenings but the chalet was cosy and has a log burner for a truly winter warming feeling. As I have health issues the mobility aids in the shower gave us peace of mind. Ann left us welcome gifts that was so kind.. We visited a few places including the chalk white horse but we really only wanted a quiet reset as a family. We definitely will be returning to the chalet in warmer months so we can take advantage of the garden and to visit the beautiful area.

  • Andrew

    And well positioned for visiting all the sights. Ann and the family were very friendly and helpful, and would highly recommend.

  • Brian

    The property is styled for the older person perhaps but has every comfort, is well equipped and clean. It would be a boon to those with minor physical issues. There is a railway track close by but this should not put anyone off as it is of no consequence and interfered with our stay not one jot. Important to note that this is a working farm with animals etc. but the cattle make excellent and quiet neighbours! All-in-all a very pleasant week and we will certainly return if we visit the area in future. A big thank you to our hosts!
