Danby 7 miles.

A fabulous detached property, full of character and history! The Wheelhouse is the result of the imaginative conversion of an old wheelhouse and barn to form a stunning stone-built house near the owner's farmhouse on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Great care has been taken to retain original features such as exposed timbers and the huge old beam which once powered the mill stone. The skeleton of the wheelhouse now forms part of the sitting-room, and is an interesting octagonal shape with windows to three sides to enjoy the views over open farmland to the sea beyond. Guests will love this warm and welcoming property!

The peaceful valley of Esk is the setting for Danby in the heart of the North York Moors. The village has an interesting history and is home to a 14th Century ruined castle and the last remaining working water mill on the River Esk. The Esk Valley Railway line runs through Danby and takes in some stunning scenery as it winds its way to Whitby. Danby Lodge is a historic building set in 13 acres of beautiful riverside pasture and has an excellent visitor centre with exhibitions, tea-rooms, a gift shop and various walks going through the parkland. The villages of Hutton-le-Hole and Lastingham and the town of Pickering are all within easy reach, as are the coastal villages of Robin Hood's Bay, Staithes, and Saltburn.
