This charming cottage, set over two levels and with an enclosed garden, on the outskirts of Pickering, is ideal for families or friends who are train enthusiasts, as you can watch the steam trains passing just behind your garden fence. The bustling market town of Pickering is home to a weekly market, various independent shops, cafes, and tea rooms to drop by and indulge in after a day of exploring Pickering Castle and the Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life.
A pretty property full of character has been decorated in soothing tones to create a relaxing home-from-home, perfect for spending quality time together. Enter through the back garden into the lounge, and the beautiful exposed wooden ceiling takes your eye. Sink into the comfortable sofas, throw a log on the wood burner in the cooler months and spend time chatting or watching the TV. Stairs from the lounge lead to the first floor. A contemporary kitchen/dining room has all the appliances you need to cook up a storm, and a bathroom completes the downstairs. On the first floor you’ll find three bedrooms - one king-size, one single and one twin with a window seat. Outside is an enclosed garden at the rear with seating from which to watch the steam trains.
You can catch the steam train from Pickering for a journey over the North York Moors to the popular seaside town of Whitby and enjoy the beautiful countryside along the route. Head into the moors to the picturesque village of Goathland (16 miles) and walk the three-mile Mallyan Spout / Beck Hole loop. Seasoned walkers should go to Newton Dale (10 miles) for walks between three to seven miles to enjoy. Cayton Bay Beach and Scarborough, the later with cliff tops and delicious fish and chips, are less than 20 miles away.
