Description

2 Castlegate is a charming, four-storey cottage set in the heart of Knaresborough, just behind an array of shops and pubs in North Yorkshire.

Thoughtfully designed for families, this property offers comfort, convenience, and a perfect base for exploring the area.

Dating back to the 1780s, this townhouse comes equipped with a toasty electric fire for those quiet evenings in.

Plus, its central location means you're just steps away from local amenities, historic landmarks, and stunning natural beauty.

As you approach, the cobbled pavement leads you to the charming gate of your holiday retreat.

Step into the snug courtyard, an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee or relax in the fresh air before setting out on your adventures.

Inside, the living room combines contemporary style with inviting warmth.

Stylish artwork and furnishings create a relaxing ambiance, while the electric fire display and TV provide the perfect setting for unwinding in the evenings.

The dining room is perfect for gathering together, whether for a delicious meal or a friendly board game session.

On the lower ground floor, the charming kitchen blends contemporary design with rustic features, showcasing clean-cut fittings, exposed beams, and brickwork that exude character.

Cook up a Yorkshire feast in the AGA and serve it fresh in the additional dining area.

Upstairs, the first floor features two bright and airy bedrooms, one of which includes a convenient en-suite - perfect for busy mornings.

A well-appointed family bathroom offers a chance to relax and recharge after a day of exploring.

On the second floor, you’ll find two more welcoming bedrooms, completing the home’s comfortable accommodations.

This home is centrally located with plenty to explore.

Take a short walk to Knaresborough Viaduct to visit the small castle ruins.

You can hire a riverboat and soak up the picturesque views of the river flowing beneath the viaduct.

There is also a small courthouse museum with fascinating historical information along the way.

For families, Mother Shipton's Cave is a must-visit, offering a play area for kids, fun displays, and the eerie spectacle of petrification - a highlight during Halloween events.

Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park provides thrills for all ages with its rollercoasters and exciting rides; just don’t let the pirate ship make you seasick!

For a more tranquil experience, head to Lotherton, a beautiful country park.

Enjoy peaceful surroundings with deer roaming freely and a bird sanctuary to explore.

Pack a picnic and take your time discovering the historic house.

Discover Knaresborough’s magical riverside charm at 2 Castlegate.

Gorgeous house in a fantastic location.

Had all the quirks of an old house but with modern fittings. The kitchen equipment is very basic but being so central in Knaresborough with many great places to eat., we found ourselves not wanting to use the kitchen anyway. There are a lot of steep stairs in the house so would not recommend for anyone who would struggle. Owners were very friendly and dealt with an issue we had immediately.
