About this property

Sitting within the shadows of Pickering''s 13th-century castle, this high-end holiday haven showcases a fabulous blend of character and contemporary styling. Four bedrooms - two of them en-suite - and a stunning open-plan living space are complemented by a glass-fronted terrace overlooking the oasis-like garden. Private parking means you can stroll around town at your leisure or explore the North Yorkshire coast and countryside by train - the station is on your doorstep.

Less than half a mile from the pretty marketplace, this property impresses from the outset, with wood flooring and a rock feature bringing the wow factor to its welcoming entrance hall. Ahead, there''s another visual feast: the open-plan kitchen and living area is modern and atmospheric, and spreads seamlessly across two levels, with beautiful glass doors drawing the eye towards the terrace beyond. Minimalist in style, the sleek kitchen has all the must-haves of home; below, the lavish living space has a wood burner in one corner, ample jewel-coloured seating and a TV above a second rock feature. There''s a more intimate feel to the dining room, where the same colour scheme continues around the large round table and light pours in from a skylight above. When it''s time to sleep, the main bedroom is spacious, with a super-king-size bed, exposed brick ornamental fireplace, tall windows and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a super-king-size bed and en-suite shower room, and the third bedroom has a luxury hotel feel with a large window and a comfortable king-size bed. Younger guests will love the fourth bedroom, a restful room with bunk beds and a sloped ceiling. A family bathroom completes the comfort and convenience for all. Step onto the glass-fronted terrace beyond the living room and you''ll have a fabulous view over the peaceful lower garden; enjoy a BBQ while the dogs and children unwind.

There''s much to enjoy in the bustling market town of Pickering, home to a splendid selection of shops, eateries and inns, an ancient castle and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Catch the train to iconic locations including Goathland (14 miles) and Grosmont (17 miles) or on further to Whitby (21 miles) for a taste of life on the Heritage Coast. Alternatively, a 24-mile drive from your holiday home will take you to the old fishing village of Robin Hood''s Bay, where quaint cottages spill down from the cliff-top to a sandy foreshore. For a change of terrain, Dalby Forest has gentle walking trails and a Go Ape Adventure Centre (6.5 miles).
