This characterful three-storey Victorian townhouse sits in the heart of Pickering, a short walk from shops, schools and the North York Moors. The house combines period features — sash windows, original hearth and timber floors — with practical modern touches such as a fitted country kitchen, oak worktops and a useful rear utility with WC.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and works well for family life: a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, and three bedrooms including a generous principal room with dual sash windows. The second floor offers a bright versatile room that can serve as bedroom two or a home office, with built-in storage and a Velux for extra light.
Buyers should note the house sits on a very small plot with no obvious private garden, and the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated — further insulation or upgrading may be needed to improve thermal performance. There is a medium flood risk for the location; buyers should investigate insurance and mitigation measures.
This property will suit families seeking a central Pickering home with period character or investors targeting local rental demand. Practical advantages include mains gas heating, double glazing and a relatively low council tax band; drawbacks are the compact external space, potential retrofit costs for insulation, and the single family bathroom layout.
