Situated in the historic market town of Richmond, North Yorkshire, this charming Victorian gardener’s cottage offers a perfect blend of history, comfort and breathtaking surroundings. Originally built in the former kitchen garden of the Elizabethan Yorke House, the cottage boasts a secure, south-facing private garden with stunning views of Richmond Castle and Billy Banks Woods. Ideally located, it is just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre to the east and the countryside to the south and west.

The cottage’s front door opens into a stone-flagged passage that leads to the garden, a well-equipped kitchen, a lounge/dining room and a convenient downstairs loo. From the kitchen, a staircase ascends to the upper floor, where you’ll find an en-suite master bedroom, a second double room, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom complete with a bath and separate shower. The lounge/dining room provides a warm and inviting space, featuring a regularly tuned piano, Wi-Fi, TV/DVD, radio/CD player and iPod dock. The secure stone passage is perfect for storing bikes, boots, coats and pushchairs and even offers a spot for damp dogs to dry off after an adventure.

Outside, the enclosed south-facing garden is a picturesque retreat with a patio, table, chairs, lawn and charming features such as a Monkey Puzzle tree, roses, apple trees, and colourful borders. It’s an idyllic setting for evening drinks, al fresco dining, or simply relaxing with a good book.

Families are warmly welcomed and up to two well-behaved dogs can stay at no additional cost. Lovingly renovated and beautifully decorated, the cottage offers a harmonious mix of modern amenities and historical charm. It holds a Visit England 5-star Gold rating and received the prestigious Rose Award in 2022.
