1 / 24Dale End Cottage
Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire
A two bedroom detached cottage for four in the middle of Kirkbymoorside with a snug, a lounge, an enclosed lawn and a dog room off it, two dogs welcome.
Two sitting rooms in a two bedroom cottage, which is more than the arithmetic suggests and most of why this one works. Dale End Cottage stands detached in the middle of Kirkbymoorside, a dog friendly cottage sleeping four and taking two dogs, with an enclosed lawn behind it and a dog room off the lawn. The dog room is somewhere that is not the kitchen for an animal back from the moor in the state moors return them in.
The kitchen is the bright room and takes the dining table, so meals happen where the cooking does. The snug is for reading in and the lounge for the evening, a fire set into stone with a Smart TV above. Upstairs are a king and a twin with the bathroom between them. The stairs are steep and split at the landing, which the dogs will work out first.
Four people who want a town under them and not a track: a family, or two couples. Kirkbymoorside puts a market on Wednesdays and a working high street a few minutes from the door, so the car can stay where it is for a day at a time. The garden is enclosed and level, the dog room beside it, and a shed takes the bikes.
The moors begin immediately north and the town sits on their southern edge, which is the useful position: heather one way, farmland the other. Castle Howard is 12 miles south, a baroque house with a dome, standing in parkland with lakes and a mausoleum scattered about it, and dogs walk the grounds. Sutton Bank is west, an escarpment with the Vale of York laid out below the edge and a level path along the top.
