A characterful stone townhouse with generous and private gardens, set in the heart of Pickering

Description

A charming Grade II Listed stone-built townhouse of character and scale, ideally positioned in the heart of historic Pickering, offering well-proportioned accommodation over three floors, along with extensive gardens, a range of outbuildings, and views towards Pickering Castle.

Believed to date from the early 19th century, Fern Leigh has evolved from more modest origins into a generously sized period home. Constructed in stone under a tiled roof, the property blends traditional features with a layout well suited to both family life and entertaining.

The accommodation opens via a central entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms lead. To one side lies a dual aspect sitting/dining room, while opposite, a separate family room offers a relaxing space with a beautiful bay window. To the rear is a well-appointed kitchen, along with a handy utility providing access to the ground floor bathroom.

The first floor offers three comfortable bedrooms including a spacious principal and a modern shower room. A staircase rises to the second floor where two further loft rooms, currently arranged as additional bedrooms with office - provide valuable ancillary space.

Externally, a low-maintenance front garden creates an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the vibrancy of this central location. To the rear, a hardstanding courtyard, accessed via Wells Walk, provides private parking and a further seating area, enclosed by attractive stonework and lined with three versatile outbuildings. A single garage and large workshop provide excellent storage or workspace potential.

Beyond lies an extensive and mature rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enjoying open views towards the medieval ruins of Pickering Castle. The garden is interspersed with herbaceous borders, fruit trees, timber-framed sheds, and a greenhouse—ideal for keen gardeners or those seeking outdoor space in a central setting.

Fern Leigh represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period property of considerable charm, with generous outside space and superb amenity, all within easy walking distance of Pickering’s many shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks.
