General overview
A family home on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors and only a 20 minute drive into York.
Perfect for a young family (we have high chairs, stairgates, a cot and indoor and outdoor toys). Our cosy house is great if you want to explore the outdoors whilst being close to the city of York.
Sutton on the Forest is a beautiful village with great walks, a pub and a lovely cafe next to Sutton Hall.
The space
A 4 bedroom family home perfect for families.
Downstairs there is a large kitchen dinner, recently renovated, with all modern appliances. We love cooking and baking so the kitchen is full of equipment. There’s a large farmhouse table, big bay windows and an electric fire.
There is a small guest toilet downstairs.
There are two reception rooms. One is a lovely cosy snug with a log burning fire, which acts as a reading room and a small play room / family area with tonnes of puzzles, toys and children’s art equipment. It has french doors which open on to the patio outside. There is also a lounge with a flatscreen large TV. We love music so there’s a record player, and music system.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms:
A large room with a king sized bed
A large room with a super king.
A large children’s room with a small double and a single bed
A medium sized room with a single bed which can be extended to a small double.
There is a large family bathroom upstairs with a bath and separate shower.
Outside there is an enclosed garden with outdoor furniture and a small climbing frame. We also have various toys and bikes suitable for children under 6 years of age.
Guest access
Property is over two floors. The house is old so has the usual quirks of an older place.
Notes
We can leave our car for you if necessary.
We have a cat who is extremely friendly. He ll be here for any exchanges so we would need you to feed him.
