Property code: OC-CL003

Within half a mile of a beautiful sandy beach, this traditional Grade II-listed cottage makes a lovely getaway for couples in search of a relaxing retreat in the popular seaside resort of Redcar. Dating back to the 17th century, the property offers sweet and inviting accommodation for two guests. Retaining plenty of original features, this characterful cottage has been sympathetically updated and offers exposed brickwork, timber beams, stone flooring, vaulted ceilings, a wood burner and a choice of antique furnishings. Perfect for exploring the glorious coast of North Yorkshire, this light-filled cottage is an ideal bolthole for walkers and cyclists exploring a stunning part of the county.

A step leads down from the small inner vestibule into the charming lounge/diner which has a welcoming wood burner in a handsome brick surround, with plenty of seating, a TV and antique wooden desk. The dining area is perfect for sharing a romantic meal which you can prepare in the spacious country-style kitchen. You will also find a handy wet room on the ground floor. Upstairs, the warmly decorated bedroom is beautifully furnished with a lovely king-size bed, a TV, dressing table and freestanding washstand, with exposed wooden beams in the sloping ceiling. Patio doors lead from the kitchen into a private, enclosed courtyard garden with a fire pit and outdoor furniture, making a cheerful and relaxing space for dining alfresco or enjoying a glass of wine on a summer’s evening.

The beach stretches from South Gare in the north and all the way past Redcar and down to Saltburn, offering eight miles of golden sands. Redcar is also known for its popular racecourse, with local attractions including the Land of Iron at Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum, Kirkleatham Walled Garden, and the northern outskirts of the North York Moors, all within 11 miles.

Fantastic cottage with plenty equipment and goods to meet all your needs. Lots of quirky interior design features that were very interesting. Welcome pack and bottle of wine was a lovely gesture on arrival. Situated on the edge of Redcar which is sadly in need of some local regeneration ( like most towns) however beautiful beaches on your doorstRead moreep,dog friendly. Excellent for trips to Saltburn, Kettleness for fossils , Staithes and Whitby. Hartlepool royal navy museum and marina is a short drive. Nearby villages of Yarm ,Guisborough and Stokesly for markets all available. Main town of Middlesbrough just down the road for shopping. All in all a lovely cottage, close to lots of things to do at every level. Hide
