Gather friends and family for a luxurious break in this stunning holiday home on the Yorkshire coast. The period property boasts a quiet location in a leafy, residential area of Whitby, yet is just 0.5 miles from its bustling streets, working harbour, and sandy beach. There are some stunning walks branching away from the town, following The Cleveland Way and Cinder Track, and nearby day trips include Staithes (10 miles) and Scarborough (20 miles).
The Grade II-listed townhouse is arranged across four floors and is awash with original features and quirky artefacts. The property has two entrances – one via the courtyard at lower-ground-floor level and one via a flight of stairs to the ground floor. On the lower ground floor you’ll find an open-plan kitchen/diner for hosting memorable mealtimes. The stylish kitchen area has everything you need to whip up delicious feasts, and the stunning dining table with leather chairs provides a comfortable space for entertaining. Completing this level is a games room with a football table, as well as a handy sink and washing machine for dealing with sandy beach gear. Upstairs, via a spiral staircase, are two opulent living areas, both with high ceilings, original sash windows, and luxurious fixtures and fittings. Come together in the drawing room to chat around the open fire or watch a film on the Smart TV. Alternatively, curl up in the snug with your favourite book. On the first floor you’ll find two stunning bedrooms, one of which has steps down to an en-suite shower room. This floor also houses a spacious bathroom. The top floor is home to the remaining bedrooms, along with a magnificent family bathroom with a free-standing bath. There is a small, enclosed courtyard to the rear with outdoor furniture, as well as a sunny front garden where you can soak up some rays and watch the world go by.
You’ll find plenty to see and do in Whitby. Head down to the harbour to watch the fishing boats coming and going, or perhaps join a boat trip to go exploring off the coast. The town has a fabulous array of eateries to dine in, or perhaps pick up a bag of fish and chips or some smoked kippers to take home for your supper. Step back in time with a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where you can chug by steam train though the unspoilt countryside from Whitby to the market town of Pickering (18 miles).
