The Appeal Of Our Home - The Owners Insight - There are so many things to love about this house. It has the beautiful proportions, high ceilings and original features of a period house, yet feels homely and cosy. We enjoy socialising, its a great house for entertaining. When its just us, in the winter, we light the log burner and watch the weather coming and going. In the summer, it’s time to open up the sliding doors and live on the terrace, which gets flooded with sun. Then, there’s the garden, we are passionate gardeners, its filled with bird song, we enjoy it as the seasons change. All the time the view of the Yorkshire countryside is there, stopping us in our tracks, gorgeous!
