Country Hideaways | Jesmond Cottage | West Burton, Leyburn

Yorkshire Dales. Sleeps up to 4

On the fringe of West Burton's village green, just before the road narrows into the Back Nook, stands Jesmond Cottage one of the many traditional stoneworked cottages that has been recently renovated.

Jesmond Cottage is a property of roomy proportions providing all modern comforts. The main access is through a small stone flagged patio garden with a bistro set, a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views and activities on the green. The entrance opens into a cosy lounge with beamed ceiling, wood-burning stove and decorative stone alcoves.

Off the lounge is a well-equipped kitchen with dining area, which in turn gives access to the rear flagged patio. The patio can also be reached through a gated lane that leads from the village green a few yards away.

A stairway with pine balustrade rises from the lounge to two bedrooms, one large room with double and single bed and the other with a single bed. There is also a bathroom with bath, electric shower over the bath, washbasin and toilet.

Retention of the original and exposure of new features along with pine doors, panels and fitments blending with tasteful decoration and comfortable furnishings gives warmth to this cosy cottage and offers accommodation of a high standard.

This cottage is located in Leyburn. Bolton Castle and Middleham Castle are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Yorkshire Dales National Park and Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve. Raydale Preserves and The Forbidden Corner are also worth visiting.
