This charming cottage offers a peaceful base for discovering the sweeping scenery of North Yorkshire. Set on a working farm just 3 miles from Pickering and 5.5 miles from Malton, it features one beautifully finished bedroom and is one of three exclusive hideaways on the site. Guests can step straight into the glorious walking country of the North York Moors, with North Riding Forest Park only 4 miles away and the Howardian Hills 8 miles from the door. Days out might include the grandeur of Castle Howard (11.5 miles) or the atmospheric ruins of Rievaulx Abbey (19 miles). Just 2.5 miles from Flamingo Land, the cottage is also well placed for exploring the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. Head to pretty Robin Hood’s Bay or historic Whitby (24 miles), where the famous 199 steps lead up to the abbey remains.
Stepping inside, you’re welcomed into a wonderfully relaxed, spacious home where the heart of the property, a fully equipped kitchen centred around what might just be the best kitchen table in all of Yorkshire, sets the tone for long, laughter‑filled family meals. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer plenty of comfort, all served by a stylish main bathroom with both a bath and a shower. Back downstairs, the house surprises you with two lounges: a large, cosy living room with a huge corner sofa perfect for sinking into after a day out, and a second, more traditional snug, both connected by a dual-aspect wood burner that fills the whole space with warmth and charm. The entire property feels open, calming and effortlessly chilled, making it an ideal retreat for unwinding and spending quality time together.
The garden unfolds as a wonderfully private, enclosed space with full rural views in every direction, looking out over grazing sheep and open farmland, creating a peaceful backdrop from morning to dusk. A stylish outdoor corner sofa invites you to stretch out and relax, while the hot tub adds that extra touch of indulgence — perfect for unwinding under big Yorkshire skies. The space feels open, calm and beautifully connected to the countryside, and with parking for multiple cars at the front, it’s as practical as it is picturesque.
