It lies in the heart of Fryton, a tranquil hamlet with good accessibility, midway between Hovingham and Slingsby and within easy reach of Malton.

More Details - Rose Cottage is beautifully appointed throughout and has recently been decorated using Farrow & Ball paint. During the current tenure, a Firewren wood-burning stove has been installed in the sitting room, Hovingham Interiors have fitted the bedroom furniture and Herdwick Wool carpets have been laid on the staircase and first floor. There are good storage options, and the loft provides further potential to expand upwards.

This cottage has well designed accommodation that includes a sitting room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large, fitted utility/laundry room with a butler sink and pantry component. The showpiece is a superb 24 ft kitchen/dining/living room, a contemporary living space with French doors opening onto the garden and country views extending beyond as far as the eye can see. There is an engineered wood floor, a large roof lantern, banquette seating with storage and ample space for dining and living areas. The modern fitted kitchen includes multiple base units, integrated appliances, timber worktops and a double sink. At the front of the house, the sitting room is elegantly proportioned with a wood-burning stove and window seat. Upstairs is the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and shelving, and a west facing aspect. The second bedroom fits a small double and enjoys wonderful country views. Both are served by a house bathroom on the first floor and a shower room on the ground floor.

Outside - At the rear is a pretty paved terrace providing ample space for sitting out. Steps ascend to an area of lawn enclosed by a timber fence adorned on the west with cordon fruit trees and an espalier providing varieties of apple. On both sides are abundantly planted herbaceous borders. At the rear, parkland railings give a wonderful open aspect over green pastures to the castle and church tower at the neighbouring village; this is a protected view.

At the front is a pretty flower bed and climbing rose with parking on the village lane.

Fryton is a peaceful no-through rural hamlet on the edge of the Howardian Hills; its winding country lane terminates where countryside begins. It numbers seventeen properties including two working arable farms, mostly stone-built of vernacular architecture, and is well known for its strong community. There are superb dog walks from the door, including along the line of the disused Thirsk & Malton railway, with the thriving pub at Slingsby easily reachable on foot. From the village are glorious views east across open countryside to the romantic ruins of the Jacobean Manor House known as Slingsby Castle and the church. Nearby Hovingham has a bakery, store, the Worsley Arms hotel, a fine dining restaurant, GP surgery, village hall, monthly artisan market and sports clubs. The Georgian market town of Malton, with its railway station connecting to York, is just ten minutes’ drive away, and the Howardian Hills, Moors and coast are all within easy reach.
