About this property
The Joinery is a lovely, reverse-level house in Scarborough, Yorkshire, defined by characterful exposed beams, an eco fireplace, and an enclosed courtyard that adds a welcome outdoor pause to days by the coast. Designed with living spaces above the bedrooms, the layout makes the most of shared time, while still offering quieter corners to retreat to as the day unfolds. Step inside and discover bedrooms arranged on the lower floor, including two doubles and a single with a truckle, making the house well-suited to families or small groups travelling together. A well-appointed bathroom with a bath and shower over sits nearby, alongside a cloakroom that adds everyday ease.
Moving upstairs, the open-plan living space opens out beneath exposed beams that hint at the building’s heritage, creating an engaging backdrop for relaxed holiday living. The kitchen flows easily into the dining area, encouraging long breakfasts and unhurried evening meals, while the sitting area centres around the eco fireplace, offering a natural focal point for conversation and films. A utility room keeps practicalities neatly out of sight, and outside, the enclosed courtyard provides a pleasant spot for fresh air between adventures. Scarborough itself offers plenty to explore, from the dramatic headland crowned by Scarborough Castle to the landscaped calm of Peasholm Park and the sweeping sands of the North and South Bays.
Venture north to Whitby to wander the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey, explore the harbour, or enjoy a journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Head south to Filey for a gentler pace, where Filey Brigg and the long promenade invite easy coastal strolls. A little further along the coast, Robin Hood’s Bay reveals winding streets, fossil-rich shores, and clifftop walks. After full days out, returning to The Joinery feels like coming back to a place that truly fits the rhythm of the coast.
Popular since Victorian times, the vibrant seaside town of Scarborough retains many of its original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of beautiful, golden sandy beaches, popular with families and small children. There are a number of child friendly activities and many excellent visitor attractions for grown-ups too, including the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music. Scarborough is a great location for outdoor activities, with golf courses, lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way, stunning cycle routes such as the old railway to Whitby, beautiful sailing and championship quality surfing. Add to this all the usual seaside entertainment and bustling promenades located close to the beach and Scarborough is the destination with something for everyone. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough is an ideal base for a fun-filled break.
