In the vibrant market town of Pickering, North Yorkshire, a characterful 17th-century Yorkshire longhouse awaits guests, offering a spacious and comfortable retreat for up to 7 people. This Grade II listed cottage features original oak cruck beams, stone flagged floors, and a traditional cast iron Victorian range, providing a charming and historic atmosphere for family and friends to gather.
The cottage boasts a spacious lounge with an impressive cruck frame, a snug with a sofa bed for additional guests, a large kitchen with a range cooker, and warm and welcoming bedrooms with private bath or shower rooms. Guests can enjoy a pretty courtyard garden for morning coffee and have access to private parking for one car. The cottage is conveniently located just a 5-10 minute walk from town, with easy access to local shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants.
Although the cottage offers modern amenities such as a wood-burning stove, TV, microwave oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and laundry facilities, guests should be aware that the house has some uneven floors and steps, and is located on a main road. The sofa bed in the snug requires sharing a bathroom with another guest, and the cottage may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Changeover day is typically Friday, but alternative arrangements can be made upon request.
For those interested in exploring the area, Pickering is known for its heritage railway, weekly market, and proximity to the North York Moors. Nearby attractions include Beck Isle Museum, Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum, Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo, and Scampston Walled Garden. With its historic charm and convenient location, this Yorkshire longhouse offers a fantastic base for a memorable stay in the North of England.
