Within the rolling countryside of Yorkshire, you can find the sweet village of Bishop Monkton, where the Old Mechanics Institute lies in all its vintage architectural glory. Beautifully renovated over the years and now complete with luxury furnishings, this property is perfect for a family holiday or a group of six looking to explore the wonders of North Yorkshire. Take in the classic exterior styles of this unique property before heading inside to explore your new home-from-home; discover first the spacious siting room, where an open fire can crackle away into the night as everyone gathers to watch a film on the large TV, from the comfort of the inviting velvet sofas. Within the stylish kitchen you can make use of the huge range cooker, and as the pots and pans simmer on the gas hob, sit at the cute breakfast bar with a glass of wine, with the evening light coming through the velux window down onto the sleek grey units. Over in the other half of this open-plan living space is the dining area and another sitting area, all atop natural wood flooring, you can enjoy a sit-down meal with everyone before flopping onto the sumptuous corner sofa afterwards. Head upstairs to find the bedrooms, with a super-king-size room offering a grand and luxurious spot to rest in, featuring exposed beams and sloping eaves giving that rustic feel, whilst benefitting from an en-suite shower room with a large double shower cubicle. The remaining bedrooms are a king-size and a double, all decorated simply but with quality furnishings and linen, served by the family bathroom which holds a bath with a shower over so you can decide how best to prepare for your day. Take time in the summer to enjoy the outdoor south-west facing courtyard, whether it’s for some alfresco dining with a spot of lunch, or an evening drink after a day of walking, you will love having your own private space outside. Set about exploring your surroundings by popping in to one of the local pubs in Bishop Monkton and be welcomed by the country village community, with a nearby attraction of Newby Hall & Gardens being close by, you can explore this Georgian house and gardens set within 25-acres, with a shop, exhibits, and a children’s adventure playground. Within driving distance is the beautiful Nidderdale AONB, a huge conservation area of Yorkshire’s rolling countryside, perfect for walking and observing wildlife, much like the huge Yorkshire Dales National Park which straddles the Pennines and offers many attractions for all ages.
