About this property
A lovely, first floor apartment, in a Grade II listed building overlooking the historic harbour in Whitby. With superb, panoramic views, the property is perfect for couples wanting to enjoy this popular seaside town, with all its amenities right on the doorstep. Many character features have been preserved, including the high, original sash windows, window shutters and panelled walls and doors. There is a comfortable, open plan living area with a lovely, decorative cast iron Victorian fireplace, a small dining table and a kitchen, whilst the bedroom is light and spacious and also has a decorative period fireplace. From all windows, guests can sit, relax and admire the stunning views, watching the brightly coloured boats come in and out of the harbour and the famous swing bridge opening.
With the shops and amenities all within a stone’s throw, you are ideally placed for exploring the quaint, narrow streets, the cobbled market place and Whitby’s many restaurants and pubs. Enjoy a cocktail in one of the harbourside bars, or partake in afternoon tea in one of the many tea rooms. Whitby has much to offer, with its 199 steps leading up to the Abbey, museums, such as the Captain Cook memorial museum, and the pretty gardens in Pannett Park. Why not book a night time ghost walk, or a whale watching trip? With the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors to discover nearby and numerous coastal and inland villages to visit, this apartment provides an ideal base, at any time of the year.
The popular fishing town of Whitby is situated at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire. The town offers winding streets, hidden alleys, a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.
