The town lies on the fringes of the North York Moors National Park and Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding National Beauty, and boasts considerable architectural character. York is just 24 miles to the south and the A1(M) 22 miles to the west. Direct trains to London run regularly from Thirsk (14 miles) and York, with some services making the journey in under 2 hours.

The Cottage - Feathers Cottage is a spacious two bedroom home tucked away behind The Market Square. The property is approached behind the Feathers Hotel off Bondgate. The cottage was built by the current owners for the manager of the hotel.

There is an entrance hall that doubles as a utility room which in turn leads to the stair hall. The generous sitting room has two windows, one overlooking the garden. The newly fitted kitchen is open to the sitting room with a breakfast bar and a door to the garden. The ground floor flows well and is well suited to modern living.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms. The master has a WC ensuite and overlooks the garden with far reaching rooftop views to farmland beyond. There is a newly fitted house bathroom. It may be possible to reconfigure the WC and bathroom to provide an ensuite shower room for the principal bedroom.

The Garden - The Garden is predominantly laid to gravel and provides off street parking and a paved seating area. This space offers huge potential to design a garden around the next owners' needs.
