About this property
Escape to this beautiful holiday home set in one of North Yorkshire’s prettiest towns, Helmsley, in the North York Moors National Park. Voted one of the best places to live in the UK in a Sunday Times survey, picture-postcard Helmsley offers a real escape from the stresses and strains of modern life. Helmsley is tiny yet packed with things to do as well as its inherent good looks, charming sandstone buildings and country charm. In addition to the exquisite tea rooms, cafés and delis in town, you’ll also find some of the best restaurants and gastropubs in the UK, and lots of independent shops, upmarket stores, galleries and antique dealers. The Duncombe Park Estate is set on the edge of town and its parkland and gardens are open to visitors for much of the year. It’s a lovely spot for walking, particularly along the river towards Rievaulx Abbey (3 miles). Helmsley is also close to York, Castle Howard and the Yorkshire coast, so lots of choices for day trips, all within a 30-mile drive.
Welcome to an exquisite retreat where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. Nestled in the picturesque heart of Helmsley, this brand new luxury stone cottage, completely renovated for 2024, offers a unique and unforgettable experience for families and friends.
