Make your way into the relaxing sitting room and unwind together in style. Wow! There is a view over the rooftops towards the harbour and Whitby’s historic Abbey. The décor is calming and neutral, inspired by its coastal surroundings. It’s easy to imagine snuggling up here over a delicious bottle of wine, with a view of the floodlit Abbey in the distance!
Located in the West Cliff area where the famous “whale bones” are situated, the property is in a quiet residential area, yet close to all the town centre amenities.
