Housed in an old school house, the former residence of the head teacher at the local church school – this home retains much of its original character, while modern home luxuries spruce the space up with a contemporary twist. The interiors of the home present countryside chic with the addition of playful pops of colour in every room. The quaint patio courtyard allows guests to dine alfresco in what becomes a delightful little sun trap in the spring and summer months. And during the evenings, you'll have an outdoor heater to keep you warm when using the pizza oven and barbecue. In the picturesque market town of Pickering, this grade II listed home puts you at the end of a quiet yet central street and within walking distance of the town's shops, cafes and pubs. Plus, you'll be just a six-minute stroll to Pickering railway station – from here, you can experience the iconic North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The station is a must-see when staying here, as with a 1930s theme, it transports guests back to the steam era and connects you to nearby North Yorkshire destinations such as Whitby, Grosmont and Goathland.
