Tucked away in the bustling town of Thirsk in North Yorkshire, is this lovely three-storey house, Ickle Pickle Cottage. Enjoying a superb location close to amenities and with easy access to the scenic North York Moors National Park, 1 Nicksgate is a wonderful pet-friendly dwelling for a couple seeking adventure, along with their two pooches. Be welcomed into the well-equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up flavourful meals ready to be enjoyed at the dining table for two over a bottle of celebratory fizz. Completing the ground floor is a beautifully tiled bathroom, where you can relax amongst the bubbles with your favourite book or freshen up with a hot shower. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can kick-back and relax on the corner sofa in the stylishly decorated sitting room, as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. As your eyes grow heavy, retreat up to the second floor, where you will discover a well-presented double bedroom, served by an en-suite cloakroom for your convenience. Explore the local town, where right on your doorstep you will find the welcoming Mowbray Arms, serving a tasty menu and local ales, ideal for those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking! A wander through the town takes you to the attractions of The World of James Herriott, Thirsk Museum, Thirsk Racecourse, Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club and a plethora of restaurants, shops, and a cinema. Venture into the North York Moors National Park, where you will find the remarkable sites of Rievaulx Abbey, Helmsley Castle and Mount Grace Priory House and Gardens. Take a scenic drive to the coast, where you will find Whitby, well-known for its imposing abbey and glorious sands, along with its Whitby Museum, 199 Steps and The Cinder Track which leads to Scarborough, where you can enjoy the delights of a castle, Alpamare and Luna Park and Scarborough Open Air Theatre. For a taste of city life, visit York, home to the National Railway Museum, the impressive York Minister and the Merchant Adventurer’s Hall.
