About this property
Copmanthorpe 4.8 miles. Olive Tree Cottage is a delightful three‑storey house resting in Appleton Roebuck, North Yorkshire, offering a woodburning stove, underfloor heating, and off‑road parking. This inviting village escape blends thoughtful design with homely touches, creating a welcoming base for families or friends and one four-legged friend eager to explore this peaceful corner of the county. Step inside to the warmth of the ground floor, where underfloor heating gently rises through the space and the woodburning stove becomes a natural focal point for evenings spent unwinding. The living/diner provides a relaxed setting for gathering, while the well‑equipped kitchen offers everything needed for preparing meals, from an electric oven and hob to an air fryer and even an ice cream maker for a treat after days out.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms await on the first floor, accompanied by a sleek bathroom with both a bath and walk‑in shower. The second floor hosts the king‑size bedroom, complete with its own en‑suite, offering a sense of privacy for those seeking a little extra space. Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a pleasant spot for morning coffee or an alfresco meal, with the village pub just a short stroll away for evenings out. Appleton Roebuck sits within easy reach of several charming destinations. Venture to York, where historic streets, independent shops, and iconic landmarks such as York Minster and the Shambles offer hours of exploration.
Head to Tadcaster, known for its brewery heritage and riverside walks, ideal for leisurely afternoons. For a change of pace, visit Wetherby, a market town with boutique shops, cafés, and scenic riverside paths perfect for families or groups seeking gentle outdoor adventures. Explore Castle Howard, just 20 mins away, and is one of England's finest historic houses, set in a thousand acres of sweeping parkland dotted with statues, temples, lakes and fountains. Visit the Turkish Baths in Harrogate, a historic and authentic Victorian health spa offering a unique experience, or Helmsley with its traditional weekly market featuring a variety of stalls - both within a 30/40 car ride.
Leeds can be reached in 20 mins and the coast is only an hour away if you wish to spend your time soaking up the sea views. With its thoughtful layout and welcoming atmosphere, Olive Tree Cottage provides a wonderful base for discovering North Yorkshire.
The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
