This impressive converted pottery blends historic features, modern comfort and an enviable location right next to Pickering Castle. Built into the hillside (you'll spot some of the exposed rock in the home), it also boasts spectacular views over the town and its heritage steam railway. A state-of-the-art kitchen in an elevated position is the heart of the home, overlooking the velvety lounge below – complete with sloping ceilings, skylights, bi-folding doors out to the deck and a cosy log burner. Rise early to explore the market town and its independent shops, restaurants and pubs, or enjoy a walk on the iconic Cleveland Way or in nearby Dalby Forrest, where you'll find gentle woodland trails and more of North Yorkshire's stunning scenery.
