The Workshop

Situated close to the market town of Malton and on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors this delightful character converted workshop has two bedrooms, an open plan contemporary living space and a small, paved courtyard garden with stunning borders. A larger garden is just a few yards away and is perfect for enjoying a relaxing evening, sitting and watching the setting sun.

The Workshop has been completely refurbished to exacting detail and offers elegant and modern living.

As you walk into The Workshop you are met with a beautifully light filled entrance hall, its under-floor heating will warm up your toes after a day walking on the moors. It's also a great place for your muddy boots. The utility has a useful washer/drier and an extra freezer. The design-led style of The Workshop begins here and is very much in evidence with an unusual storage unit made from recycled apple boxes and an old settle which completes the rustic vibe.

Walk through the glass double doors into the open plan living, dining and kitchen area and you are welcomed by the impressive limestone floor with under-floor heating, and together with the stylish wood-burner The Workshop really is a cottage for all seasons and exudes a cosy feel. The kitchen area is well-equipped and a perfect space for the foodies among you to cook up some culinary magic. As Malton is the food capital of the north you have plenty of local award-winning produce to choose from. Sitting proudly in the kitchen is a vintage butcher's block nestled next to a reclaimed pine dining-table. The living area continues with quirky touches such as the reclaimed storage chest used as a coffee table and soft leather chairs and sofa, just the place to relax and watch the cook at work. Games and books will keep you amused. This open plan space is ideal for romantic couples, families and friends alike.

From the living area the staircase with its glass banister leads up to the first floor. A large landing is filled with sunlight and here you will find a stylish bathroom with Bath House luxury toiletries, a rain head shower and a bath to soak achy legs after hiking the moors or spending a hectic day around the shops and sights of Harrogate and York. Relax with bubbles in the bath and bubbles in a glass, heaven. There are two light and airy bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and one with super-king bed which can be split to use as two singles. Snuggle up in the crisp white bed linen for a great night's sleep. The history of this 200-year-old cottage is evident in the fantastic ceiling beams throughout. Chic bedroom furniture complements the country contemporary look. The views out over the working farm and gardens are delightful.

The garden is filled with beautiful perennial hedges of hydrangea, maple, roses and pieris and the pretty rose arch over the French windows gives a romantic cottage garden feel.

This charming cottage is a perfect choice for a holiday whether you are looking for rest and relaxation or an active stay walking, hiking and cycling across the fantastic moors, hills and dales of Yorkshire. The owners are on site and so is Garden Cottage (5150), ideal for a larger party of family or friends to book both together.
