About this place
Former isolation hospital next to wetlands and walks. A short stroll to the lovely town of Masham, with cafes, local shops, pubs and breweries!
A converted isolation hospital, which has also been a rope mill and a dairy. It's a great place for a gathering with friends or family, close to Masham but with lots of outdoor space.
Strictly no loud parties please... Definitely come to have fun, but in a sedate and steady kind of way!
The house is spacious and well equipped.
It has been a major renovation project and has retained its quirks and character as well as gaining some warmth and comfort! We're not 100% there yet, and are delighted to be using Airbnb/Houfy funds to keep going with improvements, so thank you for helping us get there! Guests so far have been very complimentary but please don't expect perfection!!
It's an interesting and relaxing space to stay in, with the countryside on your doorstep, and Masham a short walk across fields (public footpath - 10/15 minute walk, please note take the torch provided, it can be dark on the way back but our guests tell us they love this!!) Or it's an even shorter drive (2/3 mins!)
Guests enjoy the large kitchen, with old range cooker (sadly not working yet, but adds to the ambience). We're big cooking fans, so the kitchen is well equipped with most mod cons (big cooker, big fridge and freezer, wine fridge, KitchenAid mixer, bread maker, etc etc - let us know if you've got a specific cooking requirement in mind)
There are five bedrooms, four of which are ensuite:
1. Big room, king sized bed, en suite bathroom with bath and shower (can add single z bed here if needed)
2. Double room. With ensuite shower room. Room for travel cot if required, but not for additional single.
3. 'Harry Potter' room (see pics). A bedroom which can be a double, or double plus single , a twin, or a triple, with ensuite bathroom (bath with shower over) (Note picture of bed not up to date in this room)
4. Double, with pallet-wood feature wall. Room for further single if required, with ensuite bathroom (bath with shower over)
5. Double bed with a single above. Bohemian style decor. This room is not ensuite. Again, room for further z bed in here if required.
The house is set in a garden of 1/3 of an acre. The pictures show the front, with seating near a brick built barbecue. The back of the house is a further garden area. It is overlooked from the big bifold doors in the kitchen and lounge.
