Bubwith 4.1 miles. This detached, spacious property is set on a quiet road, opposite a lovely duck pond, in the quaint village of Ellerton near Bubwith, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. With private driveway parking and sleeping arrangements for six, this property is ideal for a family or small group looking to explore Yorkshire, within easy reach of the city of York. Entering Prospect House, you will discover the sitting room, with a leather sofa and armchair to relax into, a TV with Freeview and DVD Player providing hours of entertainment while the heat from the woodburning stove fills the room with warmth and adds to the cosy feel, plus a set of patio doors which can be opened up onto a gravelled pathway, which leads round to the front garden. The spacious kitchen/diner has seating for six, perfect for gathering together to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal and making plans for the remainder of your stay, while the kitchen has all of the amenities you could wish for, including a dishwasher to take care of any washing up requirements, and you can even enjoy the background noise of the TV with Freeview as you prep your meals, while the utility room houses a washing machine, for added convenience. The ground-floor family bathroom has a shower over bath, giving you the option of how you would prefer to start the day and meaning a queue for the bathroom in the morning far less likely.

Outside, the spacious driveway has parking for two cars, while the enclosed front garden has a lawn and picnic bench-style seating, ideal for a spot of lunch whilst the children or pets run around safely and freely. Ellerton village has a pub and a microbrewery, as well as the charming duck pond opposite the property, which is great for an afternoon stroll or sitting on a bench and watching the world go by.
