Masham's historic little market town is situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure. There's a huge market square, where a bi-weekly market every Wednesday and Saturday offers various local produce. With plenty of walking trails in proximity, discover the 120 acres of natural beauty at Hackfall Woods AONB, along with Himalayan Sculpture Park 3 miles away in Grewelthorpe. The town boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries, Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery. The popular towns of Ripon (9 miles), Thirsk (14 miles), Richmond (14 miles) and Harrogate (19 miles) are an easy drive away.
An outstanding and substantial Grade II-listed double-fronted townhouse is situated just off the market square in the heart of the picturesque market town of Masham. Tastefully designed for families or a group of friends, this spacious retreat is an exquisite choice for a memorable holiday experience. A classic-style hallway welcomes you inside, dividing off into a series of rooms. At the far end of the hall, you will discover a generously sized kitchen with a long central island, and you can perch on a stool at the breakfast bar, drink in hand while the chef of the group prepares a home-cooked meal. Enjoy your family meals around the table in the neighbouring dining room which comfortably seats everyone. Look forward to settling down in the cosy lounge afterwards, snuggling up on the sumptuous sofas and watching a film on the Smart TV whilst being warmed by the heat from the wood burner. An additional snug room is an ideal retreat for younger guests to entertain themselves where they can watch their choice of film on another Smart TV. As one would expect from a house of this calibre, there are useful service areas including a utility and boot room that also gives access to the rear courtyard. If a moment of quiet is what you're after, head to the sunroom where you can pour yourself a refreshing drink and relax in the courtyard. When it's time to get some sleep head up the first set of stairs and to a landing with three super-king-size bedrooms, each with beautiful bedding and space to store your items – one of the rooms boasts its own en-suite bathroom too. There is also a lovely family bathroom on the floor. Leaving you spoilt for choice once more, the third floor is equally as elegant, with two further bedrooms; a king-size and a twin room plus an additional family bathroom.
Outside is a private courtyard where you can enjoy a family BBQ dining alfresco with a fire pit to keep you warm sitting on the lovely garden furniture in the Yorkshire sunshine. There is also a separate games barn complete with multi games table and wood burner.
