About this property
Fern Lea, Sleights - sleeps 10, 5 beds, 3 bathrooms
Fern Lea is a superb 5 bed, 3 bathroom property in a perfect village location close to the coast and North York Moors with stunning views over the Esk valley.
A genuine home from home, with 5 bedrooms there is plenty of room to accommodate everyone in comfort. This lovely semi-detached house sleeps 10 comfortably, with 2 ensuite kingsize bedrooms and 3 twin rooms which share a large family bathroom.
On the ground floor there is a large lounge with dvd, video and 42" tv and a downstairs toilet. The kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, coffee machine and breakfast bar. A separate dining room seats 10 with patio doors onto the rear garden with seating area for out door dining, in addition there is a utility room with washing machine and tumble drier.
On the first floor there are 3 twin rooms, a large family bathroom, a double bedroom with kingsize bed, shower ensuite and a balcony with wonderful views over the country side (and steam trains can be seen on their way to and from Whitby).
On the second floor is a spacious double bedroom with a kingsize bed, comfortable sitting area and shower ensuite. In addition, there is a seating area; a perfect place to watch the world go by and enjoy the views, in peace and quiet.
Outside the house has gardens to the front, side and rear. The back garden is a split level patio garden with a number of steps up to the raised level sitting area and is fully enclosed so secure for both children and dogs. In the back garden there is a large bbq, and dining area (for 10).
The house is within walking distance of the village's amenities which include a bakers, butchers, tea shop, hair dressers, Convenience store/post office, fish and chip shop and pub. There is no need to venture too far with everything on your door step.
Fern Lea is a beautiful home from home, in the North Yorkshire village of Sleights, close to the North Yorkshire Moors and Coast. A perfect location for a 'get away from it all' break, whether it be a family holiday, an exploring break, one of Whitby's famous music weekends, discovering the "Dinosaur" Coast, Cycling the Tour de Yorkshire route, a fishing trip or riding the famous North Yorkshire Moors Railway, all are close to the door of this perfectly located holiday home. Dogs are also welcome.

About the host
Hosted by James Ratcliff

We bought this property in 2015 to run as a holiday rental. We had always dreamed of having a holiday home we could run as a business and this is it! We refurbishing the house, decorating it from top to bottom, including a lot of re-plastering, landscaping and fencing the back garden, so that it makes a real home from home for all our guests, who love it as much as we do!
After a lot of blood sweat and tears we are open and looking forward to the next chapter in our dream.

Why they chose this property
We love this area, and when searching for a house were looking in the North Yorkshire Moors and villages around when we by chance came upon Fern Lea in Sleights. Sleights is the main village between the Moors and the Coast when coming over the Moors from Pickering and has a great pub and excellent fish and chip shop, plus a butchers, bakers and small Spar store.We fell in love with the character of the old property and decided this was the place to be. With the Moors being on the door step the advantage of Sleights is that you get the best of both - being close to the coast and the wonderful beach at Sandsend, as well as being a stones throw from the Moors, and some breathtaking scenery. Whitby being on the doorstep is an added bonus as there is always something happening, whether it be a music weekend, the famous Goth weekend, or just a visit to the Abbey.
There is no finer view then looking down the hill to Lythe over Sandsend beach and Whitby in the background. A perfect place!

What makes this property unique
The property is raised up from the road (Sleights is built on a hill) and because of this the front room is always light and bright. There are lovely walks from the front door, up the hill for a fantastic view over the village and rolling hills, or along the river where the steam trains run to Whitby.
The kitchen is wonderful, light and bright with doors onto the patio and the breakfast bar enables you to have an informal snack, and to sit and chat while cooking.
The garden is fully enclosed and so a safe area for the dogs to roam - we have two dogs and they love to go for a walk on Sandsend beach.
We love the village as it has everything you need on your doorstep there is no need to go any further if you don't want the hassle, a truly perfect holiday location.
