DESCRIPTION

Pickering is a lively market town situated along the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough Road with a Monday market and a good range of shops, schools and other amenities. There are good road links from Pickering towards the east coast and south to Malton where there are road and rail links to the city of York. Newbridge lies to the North of Pickering, within 15 minutes walk of the town centre and is a community of houses dotted either side of the railway line where the North York Moors Steam Train begins its seasonal journey through spectacular scenery of the National Park and Yorkshire Moors.

Heron Reach is tucked away along a leafy lane known locally as Blandsby Park Lane, just past the level crossing on the road towards Newton upon Rawcliffe. This architect designed larch clad property offers a refreshing alternative to the style of house one would expect to see in the National Park and for those seeking something beyond the norm, then look no further. The property was completed in December 2006 and during construction, all current building regulation requirements were met. The property has been thoughtfully designed, paying particular attention to bringing the ‘outside in’ , with the use of lots of glass and large windows to make the most of the surrounding countryside and garden. All windows are top quality tilt and turn aluminium and all exterior doors are stay-open/self-closing. The heart of the house is the living/dining room with a central wood burning stove, vaulted ceiling and high glass walls allowing the natural light to flood in. The 2nd sitting area on the galleried landing also creates a wonderful place to relax, read and take in the views of the steam trains slowly puffing by.
