Prospect House is a desirable three-storey family home located in Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, accommodating up to eight guests. This property serves as an excellent base for exploring the picturesque countryside and coastline of North Yorkshire. Originally owned by a family of stonemasons responsible for local churches and schools, including the notable Ampleforth Abbey, the house boasts historical significance. Its name is derived from the stunning views of the Gilling Gap, which can be admired from the first-floor bedrooms.

Ampleforth is a village with a rich history, dating back to Saxon times and noted in the Domesday Book. It is positioned at the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, just north of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding countryside offers a variety of scenic walking and cycling routes, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests can easily access these activities right from the doorstep of Prospect House.

Additionally, the charming market town of Helmsley is only a five-minute drive away, providing visitors with access to attractions such as Helmsley Castle, the Walled Garden, and Duncombe Park. The town also features a diverse selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants, ensuring that guests have plenty of options for dining and entertainment during their stay.

For those traveling with smaller groups or looking for additional accommodations, Mason's Cottage, which can sleep two guests, is conveniently located next to Prospect House and is available for booking, subject to availability. This makes it an attractive option for families or friends traveling together who may need extra space.
