The Potting Shed is a gorgeous hidden gem, perched at the foot of the North York Moors National Park, nestled in the idyllic village of Hutton Buscel. Perfectly situated for couples, this snug barn conversion rests on a quiet country lane, opposite fellow cottages. Upon entering the property, be wowed by the stunning high ceilings which accentuate the Velux windows and characterful oak beams, noticing the quirky stone wall where a TV sits in a unique recess. Open a bottle of wine and relax on the sofa to enjoy a cosy date night, whilst you're kept warm by the electric fire. As the evening draws to a close, travel up the steep wooden stairs and up to a snug mezzanine area overlooking the rest of the property, getting ready for bed in the en-suite shower room. Hop into the inviting double bed and turn off the lights as you look up to the Velux skylight window for an evening of stargazing, a perfect way to end your day. Soak in your surroundings as you meander along the quiet country lane just outside the property, heading over to the local shop in East Ayton to some ingredients for an evening meal, before stopping off at one of the nearby pubs to enjoy a refreshing pint on a summer's afternoon. The area is encompassed by outstanding countryside and a peaceful ambiance, pick between a plethora of leisurely rambles alongside calm fields, or challenging hikes deep within the amazing Dalby Forest. Pack your beach bag and enjoy a fantastic day at Scarborough seaside resort, home to classic amusements, sandy beaches, colourful attractions, and delicious dining choices for your culinary needs, including traditional fish and chips on the beachfront, as well as the outstanding Stephen Joseph Theatre and the historic Scarborough Castle to explore. Delight in a day out at one of the nearby market towns, discover an ancient steam railway at Pickering, find artisan food producers at the regular market stalls in Malton and treat yourself to an afternoon tea at Helmsley. There is plenty to find at the North York Moors National Park, perfect for nature enthusiasts, outdoor activities and an incredible choice of walking, cycling, and horse riding trails.
