Make memories to last a lifetime in this exceptional period property in the heart of Whitby. Set across four floors, the spacious holiday home boasts vast social spaces, all bursting with character and period charm. The property is set in Whitby’s old town, and you’ll be surrounded by beautiful cobbled streets and independent shops and restaurants. The town has four sandy beaches, your nearest – Tate Hill Beach - being just 200 metres away.
The 400-year-old family home is bursting with period features, including elegant wood panelling, stunning stained-glass windows, beamed ceilings, and exposed stonework. The characterful low entrance leads to a quarry-tiled hallway and into the stunning kitchen/diner. The space is heated by a cosy wood burner set in an inglenook fireplace, and the kitchen area has everything you need to cater for the group. Gather around the large wooden dining table for evenings of delicious food and laughter. A handy utility room completes this floor. Upstairs, you’ll find the magnificent lounge, with panelled walls, an eclectic mix of plush furniture, and a Smart TV/DVD. The first of the bedrooms – a twin – is also on this floor. Heading upstairs again, you’ll find a gorgeous family bathroom with a claw-foot bath and a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. On the top floor are two adjoining bedrooms – a king-size and a single – connected via an open doorway. Due to the age of the property, you can expect to experience restricted head height in some areas. There is no outside space with this property.
Stroll out of your front door and join the 199 steps that lead to the iconic clifftop ruins of Whitby Abbey. This evocative structure is said to have inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula and is a magical spot to enjoy a sunset stroll, soaking up the history and admiring the panoramic sea views. From the Abbey, you can easily join The Cleveland Way coastal walk, which leads to the smugglers’ haunt of Robin Hood’s Bay, 6 miles away. Back down in the town, you’ll find a network of cobbled streets, independent shops, and a fantastic array of cafes and restaurants serving local produce and fresh seafood.
