Tucked away in the quiet little village of Ellerton, engulfed by luscious green pastures and rambling Yorkshire countryside, is this freshly converted, detached annex in the grounds of the former windmill; a picturesque scene to be admired from the moment you make your way up the gated driveway. As you step through the double French doors from the enclosed patio you will be immediately delighted by the high quality design laid out in the open-plan living space, with bright and airy colour schemes alluring you into a sense of calm and tranquillity. Relax and unwind on the sofa with the woodburner ablaze, or step across to the kitchen to find all that you need to cook up a delicious dinner on sleek worktops, with ultra-modern fixtures and fittings. The dining area rests adjacent, finishing the setup in style. Just off from here is the luxurious bedroom with plenty of wardrobe space and a contemporary en-suite bathroom, enjoying a chic set of black, white and grey overtones. This modern formation is simply perfect for couples seeking some quality time together, with the added benefit of the fabulous outdoor hot tub, privately stowed under a luxury wooden gazebo, for added seclusion in a romantic setting. Here you can also enjoy sitting out during summer months on the garden furniture, with a refreshing beverage in hand, over a spot of alfresco dining. Perhaps head into the village one afternoon and have a cheeky drink at the local pub, as you're passing through on a leisurely stroll. Or take a trip to the North Yorkshire Coastline which you can reach within the hour. Also nearby is the Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve comprising a wealth of woodland and wild meadows for walks in the country, while the town of Selby boasts shopping, restaurants and Selby Abbey for exploring. A fantastic getaway not to be missed.
Ellerton is a country village home to a traditional pub, The Shoe and Boot Inn and the Half Moon Brewery. There is much to do for the outdoor enthusiasts in the surrounding area, try your hand at golf at the nearby Oaks golf course, or stroll through the Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve which locates itself slightly north of the village. For a selection of places to shop, eat and drink, head to the nearby town of Selby where you can explore its variety of amenities as well as admiring Selby Abbey, or the Summit Indoor Adventure centre for those of you young at heart.

Despite changeable weather, I had a fantastic time, that was made easier by having such a great place to come back to, after a busy day. Julie and Dave were welcoming and very helpful when required. So much to see and do in the area, Iâm sure Iâll be back when I am able and may even venture into the hot tub next time!
