Just a stones throw from historic York, The Old Forge is a perfect little hideaway in the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside and a unique opportunity to get away from it all. With undisturbed views and private access to its own wooded area, large pond and jetty, you’ll have a piece of paradise all to yourself. The property sits on the edge of a popular bridleway, providing excellent opportunity for scenic strolls and bicycle rides. And just steps from your front door, there is a free and fully enclosed dog park. The toilet and shower are located just a few steps away in your own private wing of the main Farmhouse, with its very own private entrance, and for your exclusive use.
