Outside - To the front of the cottage, spanning its full length, is a paved south-facing terrace enclosed by a charming picket fence. Directly opposite stands a converted outbuilding adorned with climbing roses, currently used as a home office and equipped with electricity and fibre broadband. Adjoining the western end of the office is a block-paved patio area beneath a wooden pergola. With external power sockets nearby, this provides an ideal space for working or entertaining outdoors during warmer months.
The attractive garden extends across and beyond the front of the house, mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature flowering shrubs including roses, lavender and sedum. A dedicated private parking space is located to the rear of the plot, accessed via a lane leading from the Cleveland Way.

Set between the Howardian Hills and the North York Moors, Helmsley is one of Ryedale’s most desirable market towns. The town offers a wide range of amenities including independent shops, delicatessens, cafés, restaurants, a department store and a thriving arts centre. Its vibrant market square is complemented by cobbled streets, a medieval castle, an historic five-acre walled garden with café, and the open parkland of the Duncombe Park Estate beyond. Despite its rural setting, Helmsley enjoys excellent access to the city of York, the coast, and the A19 linking to the A1(M) and the national motorway network.
