About this property

Stormont sits in a lovely position on the outskirts of the market town of Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire. This idyllic shepherd's hut overlooks fields and features a studio-style layout and a private gravelled garden, making it a lovely base for a couple seeking a quirky abode in Yorkshire. After a day of walking, look forward to climbing into the twin beds and catching up on your sleep. After a leisurely slumber, find the external shower block for a freshen up before heading to the shared kitchen to cook up a breakfast. On your return in the evenings, rustle up a grilled feast on the barbecue and enjoy your favourite tipple on the patio furniture. Stormont provides a lovely base for accessing the best of Yorkshire, whatever time of year.

The pretty little market town of Pocklington nestles at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds in the Vale of York. It is perhaps best known for Burnby Hall Gardens - 8 acres of gloriously beautiful gardens with two large lakes which are home to the National Collection of water lilies. There are several world famous attractions nearby - majestic Castle Howard, beautiful Sledmere House, and of course the historic city of York. The town boasts a leisure centre offering a wide range of sports, including swimming, a Civic Centre and the Pocklington Arts Centre, which shows various films and stages live shows throughout the year. Pocklington is also home to Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, known worldwide for its meditation courses and retreats, plus the KP Golf Club is situated approx. 1 mile away and offers wedding and other event facilities, a stylish bar and a restaurant, as well as an 18 hole championship golf course. Just a few miles away is the village of Warter, which is where David Hockney produced his 'Bigger Trees Near Warter' painting. Nearby are various cycle ways including the North Sea Cycle Route and walkers will love either the long distance walks along the Wolds Way or one of the many more circular walks in the area for all abilities. For those who enjoy touring by car, Pocklington forms part of the Pocklington Round, a lovely scenic drive which takes in some of the area’s prettiest villages.
