Sitting just on the cusp of the North Yorks National Park in the charming town of Pickering, this home has all the ingredients for a refreshing country getaway. In the living room, you'll find comfy furnishings arranged around a log burning stove, as well as some lovably quirky touches, like the wooden stag head mounted on the wall and the repurposed chest used as a table. Upstairs, the comfy bedrooms are matched by an equally pretty bathroom, complete with a contemporary freestanding bathtub ideal for lazy Sunday morning soaks. Outside, there's a small courtyard, as well as designated bike storage with wall-mounted racks. Thankfully, you're not exactly short of places to pedal to either — Scarborough can be reached in just over an hour and a half's cycling. Closer to home, Pickering Castle is five minutes' walk away and a station for the restored heritage railway line that travels sixteen miles through North Yorkshire is even nearer.
