Welcome to this charming five-bedroom home, nestled in the heart of the sought-after town of Pickering. Once a saddlers' workshop and now transformed into the ultimate venue for group gatherings, the house is bursting with lovingly preserved original features and comes complete with a roaring wood burner in the cosy lounge and a courtyard garden for al fresco dining moments.
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious lounge exuding warmth and character with exposed ceiling beams and sash windows. Sink into the plush sofas and unwind in front of the TV or engage in some friendly competition with the Nintendo Wii and PS3. The adjacent country kitchen is fully equipped for all your culinary needs and opens onto a charming dining area, where a wood burner nestled within a rustic inglenook fireplace sets the scene for atmospheric meals. On the first floor, you'll discover a selection of beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size, king-size and a double, along with a bathroom featuring a luxurious roll-top bath. On the second floor, find two additional bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both with additional single beds for added flexibility. A shower room and a separate WC complete the internal layout. Outside, an enclosed garden provides a tranquil setting to dine on balmy summer evenings.
The property enjoys a prime location amidst elegant Georgian buildings, quaint cottages, and an array of delightful eateries. Pickering marks the start of the North York Moors Railway, a scenic journey through picturesque landscapes to the coastal gem of Whitby, also accessible via a 21-mile drive, for a day at the seaside. Venture beyond the town to discover the serene beauty of rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and meandering rivers, offering endless opportunities for exploration by foot or bike. Nearby, you'll find the historic market town of Helmsley (13 miles), with its picturesque charm and rich heritage.
