Platelayers Cottages - Stephenson Cottage

You enter Stephenson Cottage to find a characterful ground floor centred on a living room with a wood burner, where the original stone walls and beamed ceilings give the space real texture. The kitchen-dining area is fully fitted for cooking—oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer—making it straightforward to prepare meals. A kingsize bedroom and family bathroom (with bath and separate shower) complete this level, and there's a utility room with tumble dryer for practical convenience.

Upstairs, a second kingsize bedroom includes an ensuite shower room, while a twin bedroom means the cottage comfortably sleeps six across three rooms. The property sits within the North York Moors National Park, surrounded by woodland footpaths and positioned to witness heritage steam trains on the nearby heritage line. An enclosed garden with patio, seating and barbecue provides an outdoor space to settle into, and on-site parking is available for two cars. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included; initial logs for the wood burner come as standard.

The location works well for families exploring moorland walks or for anyone wanting quick reach to the coast—Whitby is about half an hour's drive. Levisham village sits roughly a mile away with local pubs. The cottage is non-smoking.
