An attractive retreat in the bustling market town of Skipton, this enticing apartment makes an ideal base for exploring North Yorkshire. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom property sits across the first and second floors of a Victorian townhouse, just 150 metres from the centre of the vibrant town. Choose between an array of restaurants, pubs and cafes and browse the independent shops, as well as the colourful stalls on the four-times-weekly market. Visit the medieval castle and take a boat ride along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Known as the southern gateway to the Dales, the location is also perfect for forays into your picturesque surroundings. Plan a trip to Malham, 11 miles away, to visit the famous tarn and cove. While you are here, make time to see the waterfall at Janet’s Foss and wander through scenic Gordale Scar. Plan a day out to Bolton Abbey, 6.5 miles away.
Make your way up to the apartment via a flight of external steps. Open the door and enter to find exquisitely finished accommodation that still presents original features and is sympathetic to the 1850s heritage of the property. You’ll find bespoke furnishings and hand-crafted joinery and fixtures throughout. Head down the hallway to the modern kitchen, with ample space for food storage and preparation, as well as all the equipment you will need for self-catering. As supper roasts in the oven, head into the lounge/diner to settle back on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV. When it is time to eat, set the antique-style dining table and slide onto the beautiful bench, which has been handmade from a reclaimed church pew. As night falls over Yorkshire, head into one of the two sumptuous bedrooms. One of these is a king room, which has clothes storage, panelled walls and darkening blinds, and is set on the lower level of the duplex. The other, with a vaulted ceiling, original beams, good storage and air-conditioning, is set on the floor above. This room has a Yorkshire Rose stained glass window and is served by a chic en-suite shower room. The impressive family bathroom, with its beautiful bath and separate shower, is also up here.
Enjoy the fresh air and sunshine out in your private courtyard garden on fine days. Sip fresh coffee from the machine at the table with views towards the church during the day. Relax in the ambience of the LED lighting at night. This apartment provides off-road parking for two cars and offers bike storage.
