Sparkling Lemonade: North Yorkshire

Situated right in the heart of the bustling market town of Stokesley, a short drive from the rugged beauty of the North York Moors Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this quirky mid-terrace home is perfect for a romantic weekend away or a welcome break with your family.

Its Victorian exterior has been given a contemporary makeover with sleek black sash windows that make a fantastic first impression and give you an idea of what to expect once you step inside. On the ground floor, you'll uncover a stylish living room equipped with industrial-inspired lighting and a gorgeous velvet sofa. Elsewhere, an in-vogue blue kitchen comes equipped with everything you'll need.

Climb the steep stairs to the first floor, where a bright, super king-sized bedroom looks out over the charming town square, and a spacious bathroom with exposed beams and steel supports continue the industrial theme from downstairs. Finally, a top-floor twin room is perfect for those visiting with children or teenagers.

In addition to Stokesley's weekly markets, it's perhaps best known as a gateway to the North York Moors, with the park's northwest borders approximately 4 miles away. However, you can admire the rugged landscapes and the distinctive silhouette of Roseberry Topping from the eastern end of the town. On non-market days there are plenty of independent boutiques, welcoming cafes and fantastic restaurants to sample.

Home truths:
*Your host welcomes well-behaved dogs here
*The home is split across three storeys with steep stairs, so it may not be suitable for guests with more limited mobility
*Please note that there's no door on the bathroom
*Dining space is limited – the breakfast bar is best suited for two people
*We'd recommend having a car if you're planning on exploring the area – there's free parking outside the home on a first-come, first-served basis
