A stone’s throw from Richmond Castle, The Georgian Theatre and the picturesque Swale Waterfalls, this North Yorkshire home also benefits from its close proximity to the famed Yorkshire Dales. A quick fifteen-minute drive will get you well on your way to hiking well-established trails – just be sure to pack your wellies and a camera for the many photo opportunities you’ll undoubtedly come across. The country charm of the surroundings also extends to this cottage, but there’s a definite sophisticated twist in the striking walls and brass accents. The result is a homely space that radiates comfort and style, perfect for spending lazy days with a book. Explorers can return down cobbled roads after admiring art at The Old Richmond Station and gather around the fireplace in the lounge for a round or two of Monopoly.
