Situated in the historic market town of Pickering (1.5 miles), this luxury cottage is just a short walk from the town's excellent amenities, including a variety of restaurants, pubs, and convenience stores. For a day of adventure, Dalby Forest, located 5 miles away, offers a perfect setting for walking or cycling, with options for both leisurely rides and more challenging routes. A trip on the North York Moors Steam Railway (1 mile) is highly recommended, taking you through stunning landscapes to the coastal town of Whitby, 22 miles away. In Whitby, you can enjoy a classic seaside experience with its beautiful beach, historic attractions such as the Whitby Museum and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, and the iconic 199 steps leading to the impressive Whitby Abbey.

This property has been meticulously restored to offer a stunning and spacious retreat, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The property has striking features including a unique glass panel in the floor of the kitchen that allows you to watch the water flow beneath. The generous kitchen and dining area, designed in a stylish shaker theme, is ideal for gathering and boasts all the latest appliances. The living room, with its oak beams, cosy underfloor heating, and wood burner, is perfect for relaxation, complete with leather reclining sofas and a Smart TV. A separate utility room provides a convenient downstairs toilet and you will also find the washing machine. Upstairs, the property’s character continues with beamed ceilings, oak doors, and lovely views from the spacious rooms. Both bedrooms have en-suites, one is a king and one is a twin room and they are luxuriously appointed with high-quality oak furniture, large walk-in showers, and heated towel rails. Thoughtful extras like USB charging points and Smart TVs enhance your stay. Although the original mill wheel now resides in a museum in York, the property retains its historic charm with great care and attention to detail.

Outside, a raised decked area provides the perfect spot to relax and soak in the peaceful countryside, offering panoramic rural views that stretch across the landscape. The deck leads out to a fully enclosed lawn and landscaped garden, ideal for enjoying the peace and tranquillity. A stream, once the lifeblood of the mill, flows gently alongside and beneath the property, adding to the atmosphere. With a bit of luck, you might catch sight of kingfishers darting by or otters playing in the beck. Additionally, a large parking space is provided, ensuring convenience during your stay.
