The Pear Tree Middleham

With a selection of pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops within a 5-minute stroll, this stunning 18th century property enjoys a great location in Middleham. Famous for its castle, once the home of Richard III, and a base for racehorse trainers who lead their horses through the streets and up to the gallops daily, this beautiful market town is an idyllic place to soak up the Yorkshire way of life.

If you’re holidaying with children, The Forbidden Corner is just 2.5 miles away and has been regularly voted as the best family attraction in Yorkshire. Leyburn, a town renowned for its antique shops and auction centre, is 2 miles away or you could venture slightly further afield to West Burton (9 miles), Richmond (11.5 miles) or Askrigg (13.5 miles) for a wider selection of shops and eateries.

Offering a host of original features including wooden beams, fireplaces and sash windows, this three-storey townhouse is full of character. Some parts of the building even date back to the 1600s.

Step into the entrance lobby and admire the original bell pull, before making your way into the generous lounge with its oak floorboards, original bay window offering lots of natural light and large open fire within an inglenook fireplace. Choose one of the two sumptuous sofas or two comfy armchairs, enjoy the glow of the fire and settle down with a movie on the Smart TV with DVD.

A base sound amplifier gives a home cinema effect and Wi-Fi is also available. A second lounge can be found on the top floor of the house with a plush L-shaped sofa where you can unfurl with a good book or make the most of another Smart TV with DVD and selection of DVDs.

For additional entertainment, there is a table football machine, board games and a library of books. A spacious kitchen with its sleek units, granite worktops and slate floor comes complete with all the mod cons including a hob, two electric ovens, full-size fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.
