About this property
converted church. Sleeping four guests and welcoming pups too, the two-bedroom, Grade II-listed abode is a sumptuous and unique place to base yourselves. Set just in beautiful gardens, just outside Helmsley and 25 miles from York, the property captures spectacular views out across the rolling countryside.
Step inside this exquisite building to find it still presents a wealth of original features. Sit on the old church pews and admire the vaulted ceiling, original font and stained-glass windows as you go about your Yorkshire holiday and relax. Unwind together in the spacious lounge/diner, where you can light the wood burner on autumn and winter nights and savour the cosy ambience of the 19th-century church. Settle down on the comfortable seating to watch the Smart TV, listen to music or read your books. Amble through to the contemporary kitchen/diner, housed in an eye-catching extension, to whip up meals to enjoy in this room or back through at the grand table in the main living space. Relax in the second bedroom or lounge, which has a double sofa bed, when you fancy a little quiet time to yourselves. There is also a king-size bedroom with glass doors to the garden, plus a family bathroom and family wet room. Bask in the sunshine out in the lawned garden on summer days. Dine out here and take in the far-reaching views.
Venture 5 miles from the church to enjoy long walks through the undulating Howardian Hills. Visit the famous stately home of Castle Howard, 13.5 miles away, and plan a day trip into York to see its incredible historic sights and wander the narrow Shambles, pottering in independent shops and pausing for afternoon tea.
