About this property
1 Belle Vue is a delightful double-fronted period cottage. Originally two cottages and a dovecote it is now an exceptionally pretty honeyed sandstone cottage with a pantile roof. Within a short stroll of the quaint village of Osmotherley on the western edge of the North York Moors National Park this cottage is a perfect choice. A quintessentially English cottage dating back some 200 years, this cottage is charming throughout and is decorated in a classic country style enhancing the character. The master bedroom offers a super king size bed with an en-suite shower room to create a perfect base on the ground floor. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor one of which has French doors leading onto the upper garden and the third bedroom has a king-size bed with a window seat taking in the lovely views of the Hambleton Hills. The sitting room is such a cosy room with the woodburning stove at the very heart of the cottage. Every comfort is catered for here from the two bathrooms, the woodburning stove, the secure bike store, to the lovely garden. The garden has been cleverly planned to create various areas, all taking in the delightful views over the Hambleton Hills, the Vale of York and Arncliffe Woods. You can while away the time sitting on one of the window seats watching the world go by, particularly walkers on one of the long distance walks which pass by here. Osmotherley is a perfect choice for exploring this beautiful area whether your choice is walking, fishing, touring or just enjoying the beauty all around.
A picturesque North Yorkshire village, with grass and tree lined streets set on a small hillside on the western edge of the North York Moors National Park, nestling between the Hambleton Hills to the east and the Yorkshire Dales to the west.
