West End - Kirbymoorside

The Space

As you enter the hallway at West End, you are immediately given a glimpse of the elegant interiors that await. The sitting room is bright and refined, filled with natural light from the bay window. Stylish sofas are arranged around a period fireplace with an open fire, creating a warm and inviting space to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures.

The kitchen and dining area is a true delight for keen cooks, featuring a range-style oven and everything needed to prepare anything from relaxed breakfasts to hearty evening meals. Spread out the morning papers at the dining table, enjoy a freshly brewed coffee, and open the French doors to the rear courtyard, allowing natural light to flood the space.

The ground floor also benefits from a useful utility area with a washing machine, as well as a separate downstairs WC.

On the first floor, you will find two of the five beautifully styled bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and the other with twin singles. Both rooms are thoughtfully furnished with soft bedding, ample storage, and a calm, restful atmosphere. This level is also served by a well-appointed bathroom with a bath, WC, and wash basin.

A further staircase leads to the second floor, where three additional inviting double bedrooms are located. Each has been carefully designed to ensure comfort and tranquillity, making them ideal for a restful night’s sleep. This floor also includes a second bathroom, complete with a spacious walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

French doors from the dining area open out into a private courtyard—an ideal spot for enjoying a morning coffee or a relaxed evening drink.

On-street parking is available within Kirkbymoorside, and dogs are warmly welcomed to join you during your stay.
