Host & Stay | Anvil Cottage
Summary:
Tucked away close to the centre of Kirkbymoorside and within the town’s Conservation area, Anvil Cottage is an attractively presented mid-terrace cottage occupying a sunny, south facing position on Kirk Forge. This cosy holiday let provides well-proportioned and stylish accommodation, ideal for a self-catering getaway to remember in the North York Moors National Park.
The Space:
A wooden front door with arched glazed panes opens into the kitchen-diner. The white gloss units have granite effect work tops and a tiled splash back. Cooking amenities include an integrated electric oven and a four-ring electric hob with a stainless steel extractor overhead. You can also make use of a washing machine for added convenience.
The living room has a pair of casement windows to the front, along with oak flooring which adds to the traditional feel of the space. The beamed ceiling really stands out and there are two sofas to kick back and relax on.
Take the stairs up to the first floor and you’ll find two bedrooms and a spacious shower room.
Both bedrooms feature casement windows and storage space for your belongings. The master bedroom houses a double bed, while the second bedroom is home to a small double.
In the bathroom, there is a walk in shower cubicle with a double rain head shower. There is a fully tiled surround, a WC and vanity unit wash basin. Additional amenities consist of a heater ladder towel rail and underfloor heating.
The property sits in a pleasant and very sheltered position, with a raised paved patio area to the immediate front, where a table and chair set sit, and pots of flowers are nicely placed to create a pleasant space for outdoor relaxation.
