Courtenay House

About this property

Courtenay House is an impressive house located in Harpham near Nafferton in East Riding of Yorkshire. Offering thoughtfully arranged accommodation for families and friends, with space to sleep up to 10 guests, manicured grounds, a hot tub, and a stylish open-plan design. Pull up and park and make your way along the paved pathway, where manicured lawns and tall, sculpted trees draw the eye towards the steps and a central glazed entrance set against the impressive brick exterior. Step inside and enter the open-plan living space, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area form a sociable hub. Move into the kitchen and prepare meals at the sleek worktops, using the electric oven, hob, fridge, kettle, and toaster, while the central island with breakfast bar seating invites casual conversation.

Gather around the dining table to share meals and plan the day ahead, before settling into the sitting area, where a sofa and large corner sofa offer space to unwind beneath the surrounding artwork. A separate sitting room provides an additional area to relax, whether that is enjoying a quiet evening or spending time together away from the main living space. Also on the ground floor, a double bedroom offers flexibility for guests, served by a nearby shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC. Head upstairs via the wooden staircase with glass balustrades to find the remaining bedrooms, where three double rooms provide places to rest after a day out.

The bathroom features a freestanding bath alongside a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, while two further shower rooms ensure convenience for larger groups. Step outside to make the most of the garden, where the lawn and patio provide space to sit back and dine outdoors, fire up the barbecue for relaxed meals, or sink into the hot tub for an evening spent under the sky. A pub rests within a short walk, while a shop can be reached with a brief drive for essentials. Visit Driffield, where you can browse independent shops, settle into cafés for a bite to eat, and explore routes through the Yorkshire Wolds that reveal sweeping countryside views.

Head to Bridlington for a day by the sea, where sandy beaches invite a stroll along the shoreline, the harbour offers a window into coastal life, and the promenade lines up amusements and places to pause with refreshments. Travel to York for a day steeped in history, where York Minster rises above the city skyline, The Shambles showcases a network of timber-framed streets, and the National Railway Museum presents a fascinating collection of rail heritage. Courtenay House in Harpham offers a well-positioned base for exploring East Riding of Yorkshire with family and friends.

The village of Nafferton is conveniently situated in the pretty countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, yet only 2 miles from the market town of Driffield and 9 miles from the seaside resort of Bridlington. A large village, with mainly traditional dwellings that cluster around the mere and village greens, it is served by three country pubs, a village shop, a post office and a fish and chip shop. The railway station there is only 2 minutes walk away and extremely useful; only one stop to Bridlington and four to Scarborough! This is a lovely area for gentle walking, exploring the countryside and visiting stately homes and gardens such as Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall. A short ride takes you to the popular east coast seaside resorts with their long sandy beaches, whilst the historical City of York, with its famous minster, is well worth a visit.
