About this property
This semi-detached cottage is linked with the owner's farmhouse in the small village of Sawdon, close to both Scarborough and Pickering. Beautifully designed, your heart-warming retreat lies in a rural destination, laced in countryside views where the tranquil atmosphere follows you from room to room. Be welcomed by a lovely hallway, this divides off into a country cottage kitchen with its very own range cooker and homely fittings. There is a wonderful lounge/diner to be enjoyed morning across to evening, home to a collection of seating, with french doors opening up to the rear patio, bringing the panoramic views even closer.
On a sunny day, choose from one of the books available, and simply relax outdoors away from it all. Two bedrooms lie on the first floor each elevated by an en-suite bathroom, whilst an additional room lies on the ground floor neighbored by a walk-in shower. Effortlessly styled with a range of furnishings and accessories, the layouts also benefit from dual aspect windows, and peaceful scenery which you can wake up to every morning. Sawdon has a pub called The Anvil, and walks can be enjoyed from the village. Close by is Brompton-by-Sawdon, which is a delightful country village on the edge of the Forge Valley, an area of outstanding countryside.
This wonderfully scenic location, with its stone-built cottages is ideally placed for discovering the attractions, and the entire location is somewhat of a walker’s heaven. A little further afield the historic market town of Malton offers quaint shopping streets, a home away from home for you and your loved ones.

The house was very well equipped and the house was very cosy and comfortable. The position of the house was very convenient for trips to the coast, the Forest walks, delightful market towns. The owners were extremely friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we fully appreciated the welcome pack. I would fully recommend this house to anyone considering a holiday in North Yorkshire
