The Georgian Cottage

About this property

Nestled near the heart of the charming market town of Bedale, resting behind the owner's Georgian home, is this wonderful annexe, The Georgian Cottage. Retaining original features with its exposed beams and stone walls, this unique property was once the servants’ quarter and dates to 1732. With its proximity to the bustling market town and pretty courtyard garden, the Georgian Cottage is ideal for either a romantic break for couples or a family of four. Be greeted by two private parking spaces to leave your vehicle before admiring the historical building. Enter into the well-presented sitting room, where you can look forward to curling up on the plush sofa with a good book at hand to relish the peaceful location. Discover the compact kitchen area, housing all the essentials for your self-catering stay, including an electric oven and hob, as well as a washing machine and dishwasher to take care of the chores! Enjoy dining together in the dining room, where a traditional, wooden table with seats for six guests awaits. On sunny days, make use of the bright and airy conservatory, with a TV for your entertainment and cottage furniture to lounge on. Be sure to utlise the lovely courtyard at the front of the cottage to soak in the sun and your canine companion can stretch their legs next to you. As the evening draws to a close, climb upstairs to the first floor to find the family bathroom, offering a bath to relax in after an action-packed day and an overhead shower for a refreshing rinse. The first floor hosts two beautifully presented bedrooms, choose between a king-size or a double to rest your head and you can house your belongings in the matching furniture.
