About this property

A delightful stone-built, semi-detached cottage just two minutes from the centre of Richmond. Ideal for a romantic break, this lovely cottage provides the perfect base to explore the market town. The property provides beautiful character, with feature fireplaces and exposed beams throughout complimenting the stone exterior. On entering the cottage guests are met by a beautifully decorated open plan living area, consisting of a cosy sitting area, a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. Open to the stairs on the first floor guests can relax in the beautifully decorated king-size double room with decorative fireplace and admire the lovely views of the castle and Richmond town. The room is complete with a stylish en-suite shower room. Outside is an enclosed cobbled garden, providing a lovely space for drinks in the sun in the warmer weather. Just a short walk brings guests to the beautiful town centre with a huge cobbled town square and plenty of shops, pubs, cafes, tearooms and restaurants. With a weekly market too there is plenty to cater for all tastes. Why not spend a day at North Yorkshires finest attraction, Richmond Castle and admire the breathtaking views of North Yorkshire. Nearby guests can find popular towns such as Hawes, Reeth and Middleham, perfect places to enjoy a refreshing drink or meal after a walk in the countryside. A wonderful cottage, 4 Youngs Yard can be enjoyed at any time of the year.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
