A fabulous escape for one or two people, this beautifully converted agricultural building is set on an adults-only touring park, surrounded by farmland and scenic countryside. In the market town of Pickering, 1.5 miles away, you’ll find an array of charming shops and places to eat and drink, as well as a swimming pool, theatre and ruined castle to explore. From town, you can also jump aboard a heritage train and steam through glorious countryside to the coast at Whitby, 22.5 miles away, famous for its iconic abbey. There’s more history to be experienced at Helmsley Castle, 13.5 miles away, and Rievaulx Abbey, 16 miles away, while outdoor adventurers will want to head into the North York Moors National Park, which is on your doorstep. Alternatively, the beaches and attractions of Scarborough are all just 20 miles away, while majestic Castle Howard is 16 miles away, and historic York is 28 miles away.
The picturesque property, attached to the farmhouse, has been lovingly filled with thoughtful touches, such as underfloor heating, a Sonos music system and solid-oak furnishings, while the exposed-stone walls nod to its former history as a farm building. You will also be blessed with stunning views over the moors. The open-plan lounge/diner, full of light thanks to its double set of French doors, is a stunning space in which to sit back and relax, snuggling into the soft seating with a book or streaming a movie on the Smart TV. Pale walls, a wood-effect tiled floor and a coordinated, natural colour scheme all add to the sense of tranquillity. Enjoy your meals at the dining table for two, prepared in the separate kitchen, which includes luxurious granite worktops and a dishwasher to help with the cleaning up. Also on the ground floor is a sleek shower room with a spacious rainforest shower. The lovely double bedroom is on a mezzanine overlooking the living space, tucked under a vaulted ceiling, and boasts a pretty wooden bed, a dressing table and a TV for late-night viewing convenience.
Another fabulous feature of the impressive bedroom is its access to a private balcony, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sundowner as you admire the views over the farm (including horses, sheep and alpacas) and rolling countryside. By night, you can relish stunning dark skies as you listen to the owls. At ground level, an impressive rear enclosed garden offers another opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, making the most of the patio dining furniture which overlooks the long, neatly maintained lawn. From your door, you can head out on the site’s circular nature trail, which takes in fields and a chalk stream where you may spot trout, herons, kingfishers, egrets and even otters. Private parking is provided for one car.
