A couple of miles from Pickering, one of North Yorkshire’s most vibrant market towns, this single-storey property, set on a working farm and surrounded by stunning countryside, is an ideal bolthole for a couple and their dogs. With easy access to breathtaking coastal villages and a sweeping, seemingly endless moorland landscape, it would suit an active couple who love exploring their surroundings on foot or by road/mountain bike. The barn offers elegant, well-appointed living areas bathed in natural light and punctuated by original features, with a large, shared courtyard garden outside.
The spacious open-plan studio is the perfect place to relax after a long day in the fresh air. Top and tailed by ceiling beams and wooden floors, the area comprises a comfortable sitting area perfect for a cosy night in, and a dining area with carver chairs and garden views. The whole space enjoys a fresh and inviting feel thanks to the sunlight pouring through its full-length windows. Elsewhere on the ground floor, a tastefully decorated king-size bedroom sits across from a compact kitchen with a quarry-tiled floor and a spacious bathroom. Outside, a large, shared patio and lawned garden are great places for al fresco dining and soaking up the sun during warmer months.
Pickering (2 miles) offers a range of dog-friendly pubs, eateries and attractions, including a 13th-century castle. The town’s railway station is the southern terminus on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which navigates through outstanding moorland scenery and wooded countryside before terminating at Whitby (23 miles), home to iconic abbey ruins, piers and a host of dog-friendly amenities.
