APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS. Rarely do properties like Nutholme come to the rental market and rarely does the opportunity arise for someone to occupy such an historic building that dates so far back in time (1739 to be precise) in a location that the likes of Enid Blyton and Arthur Ransome would most definitely seek inspiration.

Hidden away at the foot of a picturesque valley between the villages of Appleton-le-Moors and Cropton lies this wonderful whitewashed cottage, formerly the home of the great arctic explorer, whaler and scientist William Scoresby. With roses around the door and a glorious garden, the cottage is surrounded by stunning countryside and woodland.

To get to the cottage there are two routes ..... a slow and steady drive through the river (4 wheel drive essential and/or wellies) OR an idyllic walk from the 'made up' road along a mile and half of bridleway.

The accommodation is full of character although it is dated and of its time; mod cons go as far as electricity, mains water and mains drains. There are uneven walls (and yes there are damp patches), draughty door ways, wood burning stoves that will require round the clock feeding during the winter months and there is no mobile phone signal! This really is a special place where the sound of the song birds is deafening and the whole atmosphere that surrounds this lovely old cottage can be quite overwhelming .....for those, that is, who are at peace with life outside the modern world and who want to completely switch off from life in the fast lane. Practical, hands-on applicants most welcome .....daydreamers need not apply.

To protect its environment and privacy we would respectfully ask that ALL applicants are to register their interest with the Agents prior to viewing.

A very special detached cottage that deserves a very special tenant (pre-viewing interview required)
hidden away in a truly stunning location with no mod-cons and no frills
