Cottage avec jardin et barbecue

A delightfully cosy, 18th century, stone-built, semi-detached cottage, set on the owners' working smallholding, in the small hamlet of Boulby in the midst of open countryside, three miles from Staithes. Renovated to a high standard and offering comfortable accommodation, this inviting property provides a real home-from-home, with original features such as a cast iron range with a warming open fire, perfect for chilly evenings. With a well-equipped kitchen and a dining area, this cottage has everything you need to prepare tasty home-cooked meals after a busy day. The king-size double bedroom offers superb country views so you can really appreciate this rural location, while the bunk room is perfect for tucking your sleepy kids to bed after a fun day exploring. Outside, you can take advantage of sunny days and sit out on the patio with a morning cup of tea, or why not enjoy a BBQ with the family? An excellent base for walkers and cyclists, the area offers many footpaths as well as the coastal Cleveland Way nearby. The seaside spa town of Saltburn and the famous fishing port of Whitby are close by, as are the many delights of the North York Moors National Park.Staithes is a peaceful fishing village, tucked away and well protected from the sea. It is a picturesque village with a small harbour draped with fishing nets. However, it has a tempestuous and fascinating past, involving great storms, tales of smugglers and pirates, of the Armada and of Captain Cook, of great fishing fleets and the enormous ironstone industry. The cottage in which Captain Cook lived when he was apprenticed in the town still stands and there is a heritage centre dedicated to his story.
