About this property
Wilberfoss 1.1 miles. Enjoying the amazing landscapes of the surrounding countryside, on the outskirts of Wilberfoss, East Riding of Yorkshire, is this fabulous, semi-detached barn conversion of The Cart House. Offering lovely rural views, set next to fields and farmlands whilst being within reach of York and the North York Moors National Park, The Cart House provides a family of up to eight with access to a bit of everything during their stay. This contemporary holiday home offers sufficient off-road parking with EV charging points. Head inside to be dazzled by a beautifully designed open-plan living space, where rustic exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and modern furnishings give the space a sumptuous touch. Make your way to the sitting room and grab a seat on one of the plush seating options, before unwinding and enjoying the natural light flooding in through the large bi-fold doors. The well-equipped kitchen is home to attractive shaker-style units and a large central island with quartz worktops; here, the chef of the group will enjoy fixing up delectable meals. When food is served it can be enjoyed at the sleek breakfast bar or over at the eight-seater dining table with a glass of wine. After dinner, venture to the lounge, another stylish spot with plenty of seating to offer, along with a TV; the snug, which occupies twin beds is partitioned off from this area. Amuse yourselves further with traditional board/floor games, relax with a book or listen to music on the Bluetooth speaker. The ground floor is also home to the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath. The first floor is where three tastefully furnished bedrooms await, with one offering a king sized bed with en-suite shower room. You will also find a twin room with en-suite shower room, and a further king size room. Outside, you'll be happy to find a large rear garden with a lush lawn, as well as a patio which is perfect for a spot of summertime alfresco dining. Embark on a short drive to the local village of Wilberfoss, where you will find a well-stocked convenience store/Post Office and the welcoming Oddfellows Arms Pub. For a day out, venture to the Historic City of York, boasting over 30 attractions with its famous Minster, one of the largest Cathedrals in Europe, and the acclaimed JORVIK Viking Centre. Explore the cobbled streets of The Shambles, take a stroll around the ancient Roman walls, or perhaps visit the National Railway Museum and immerse yourself in the home of iconic locomotives. The property is well placed for visiting the nearby market towns of Pocklington with the unique Burnby Hall Gardens featuring over eighty varieties of water lilies, Beverley and Malton. An easy drive through the beautiful North York Moors National Park brings you to the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough, providing fun for all the family.

My friends and I try to meet twice a year and it's the first time we're all in agreement that we'd return to the same property. Three things/suggestions we thought we'd mention - 1. There's a leak under the sink in the bathroom of the far bedroom upstairs (hope it's not caused too much damage). 2. We really would appreciate lighting at the beginning of the drive. We managed to miss the turn off when driving in the dark. Would be so helpful. 3. We were 6 people but felt slightly on top of each other in the lounge area so maybe another settee could be added? Thank you so much for a truly relaxing and wonderful stay. Karen, it was a real treat meeting you - a fantastic welcome!

The property had everything we needed as a family group aged 8 to 68 & is in a good location for days in York using park & ride. The moors & Whitby are within easy reach for days out. We hope to return.
