Troutbeck Cottage is a five bedroom detached home tucked away in a secluded location in Potto with paths and bridleways directly into the North York Moors National Park.

Set in 1.44 acres, including a paddock and stables, the house features a living room with large Inglenook fireplace, open-plan kitchen, breakfast and garden room.

The private gravelled drive opens to a parking and turning area which is large enough for a horsebox and trailers as well as a number of other vehicles.

The impressive kitchen at Troutbeck Cottage in Potto - on the market at £925,000.

The price tag is offers in excess of £925,000 and comes despite gloomy

predictions for the property market in 2023.

Tim Leonard, regional agency manager at GSC Grays, said: “Despite many headlines reporting Doom and Gloom, on the ground we are seeing a different story. Both buyers and sellers are returning in higher numbers than this time last year.”

Potto, with a population of just 300 people, has a restaurant and a village hall that was gifted by Victorian shipbuilding and steelmaking magnate Joseph Richardson, who lived at Potto Hall, built in 1850.

Times writers recommended it for ‘burnt-out city folk’ due to its proximity to the North York Moors National Park and Cleveland Hills.
