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.

The Ropery was a lovely house to stay in with plenty of space for 8 of us to stay plus 2 more friends who joined us for the evening. It was warm with plenty of hot water. The bathrooms and showers were good and the beds were comfortable with good quality bedding. The kitchen had all we needed to cook with and a spacious table to comfortably sit 10 Read morepeople around. It is centrally located in Pickering, with easy parking and walking distance to the shops and the steam railway. Hide

If you want to be a very short distance from all the pubs, cafes, great restaurants and independent shops this spacious house is for you. Pickering is a lovely, prosperous town with great bus links to the coast, we enjoyed our stay very much. The furnishings are looking a little tired now and the outside areas need urgent attention. The TV could doRead more with an upgrade but these minor things did not spoil our experience. Hide

Potentially a perfect location for access to the coast and all of inland Ryedale but the maintenance of the property is less than thorough. Also reference to 'Railway Cottages' leads SatNav to the wrong place and this needs changing

A great holiday spot for our 3 families on a half term break - easy access to the railway and the seaside. The cottage was well-equipped for our needs and really comfortable for children and adults alike
