Location: Skerne Near Beverley

Driffield 1.5 miles; Beverley 10 miles; Bridlington 15 miles.

The quiet, back-water village of Skerne rests amidst deep rural countryside, on the borders of the Yorkshire Wolds, close to the bustling market town of Driffield. Known as the 'Capital of The Yorkshire Wolds', nearby Driffield provides a variety of family-run shops, tearooms, public houses, and a twice-weekly market, as well as two supermarkets. The town’s showground hosts an annual Agricultural Show and the historic Steam and Vintage Rally, to name but a few attractions. There are pleasant walks to local beauty spots, such as the canal banks at River Head, or out of town to Bell Mills or Kings Mill. Stately homes such as Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House are nearby, whilst Cruckley Animal Farm and the soaring Bempton Cliffs, with its puffin and gannet colonies are well worth a visit. Alternatively, visit the thriving market town of Beverley, the historic City of York or the seaport of Kingston upon Hull. Yorkshire's east coast, with its wide, sandy beaches, offers quaint seaside towns such as Hornsea, Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby. A great location at any time of year.

The Property

A pretty, Yorkshire red-brick, semi-detached cottage, situated on the edge of the rural village of Skerne, 10 miles from Beverley. Built in 1850, this charming and inviting former farm worker's property is comfortably furnished and full of character, with exposed beams, a cosy open fire and French windows leading to an enclosed, west-facing courtyard garden, offering a great place to relax on a warm, summer’s evening. Shops, pubs and restaurants are a short drive away, whilst a nearby golf course as well as trout and coarse fishing are all within easy reach. This delightful cottage is also an ideal base from which to explore the east coast towns of Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby offering a host of broad sandy beaches. Alternatively, hike the many footpaths amongst the picturesque rolling Wolds, discover the haunting beauty of the North York Moors, or take some time to marvel at the caves and soaring cliffs of Flamborough Head and Bempton, both famous for their puffin colonies, whilst a visit to the magnificent historical City of York is not to be missed. Plenty to do for all the family.

This was a lovely cottage in a pretty little village near to Driffield and it was an excellent base from which to explore the Yorkshire coast and the Yorkshire Wolds.
Mr Baker, Telford, August 2011

Very well equipped cottage. Lots of tourist information/maps. Quiet cottage. Helpful owner. Housekeeper does cleaning at the end of the stay. Local village had ample shops/eateries etc.
Miss Richmond, Fraserburgh, August 2011

Quiet house with a warm atmosphere. The owner was nice and helpful. Everything was very clean.
Mr Hennig, July 2011

The cottage was beautiful and so was the village. We cannot fault any of it at all, the neighbours were also very friendly and I would recommend this property to anyone.
