2 Crosslands,

2 Crosslands is situated in the charming village of Stockton-On-The-Forest, just a short drive away from the historic city of York.

Be greeted by off-road parking before entering the spacious kitchen/diner for a refreshment after your journey. The contemporary space features cream units with an electric range cooker to prepare home-cooked meals and a dining area to catch-up on the day’s adventures at mealtimes. The sitting room is the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring North Yorkshire, with a sofa and armchair to read or watch the Smart TV. Patio doors lead out to the large lawn; here you can savour a glass of wine on balmy evenings and admire the peaceful setting. As the day draws to night, retire inside and venture upstairs to find the family bathroom for a soak in the large bath or a rinse in the separate shower. There are three pleasant bedrooms with countryside views, two doubles with Smart TVs and a bunk bedroom, ideal for younger ones.
