Is there a more wonderful village name in Britain than Ugglebarnby? If there is we've yet to hear it, and the village itself doesn't disappoint with its beautiful setting near Whitby, and within the North Yorks Moors National Park.
It has been modernised, but plenty of original features remain: beamed ceilings, deep recessed windows and a kitchen with Aga set in to an old, brick-built fireplace.
For sale with Astin's. See more pictures and details about this property.
Suffolk – £475,000
