Some houses are made for seasonal rituals you’ll want to return to year after year. In this story-filled house in North Yorkshire, misty mornings, jewelled grass and golden fields give way to long lunches, cosy corners and lingering autumn evenings.
Here are nine ways to make autumn your own at the Yorkshire House:
1. Start the day with tennis under clear blue skies, pausing for water beneath the shade of a majestic copper beech.
2. Untie the rowing boat beneath the weeping willow and lose an hour on the water with a good book.
3. Kick off your shoes in the orchard and feel the cool grass underfoot as you pick ripe apples straight from the tree, ready for crumbles and pies.
4. Meet loved ones for tea beneath the pergola as the low afternoon sun casts a golden glow over the garden and countryside beyond.
5. Warm up by the Aga as you stir steaming soup made with earthy root vegetables, rosemary and thyme grown in your own kitchen garden.
6. Add your own feast to this great stone hearth’s story as you lay the fluted oak table for a slow Sunday lunch with family and friends.
7. Listen to autumn leaves crunch underfoot as you wander through your very own woodland.
8. Tend to the dancing flames of the pizza oven in the cosy outhouse, watching your homemade dough blister and char.
9. Settle beneath blankets by the courtyard and watch for shooting stars across the dark, open skies during autumn’s meteor showers.
