A group adventure to this impressive townhouse in Whitby promises a vibrant mix of seaside charm, historic intrigue, and moorland discoveries. Whitby’s iconic skyline, dominated by the haunting ruins of the 12th-century abbey and St. Mary’s Church, sets the scene for a truly memorable stay. Explore the town’s links to Captain James Cook, browse the quirky shops along cobbled streets, and stroll along the 3-mile stretch of golden sandy beach. The bustling harbour and marina are lovely spots to watch the world go by or to sample fresh seafood from local eateries. For a change of pace, hop on a heritage railway to Goathland and Grosmont, made famous by the TV series Heartbeat, or head into the North York Moors (2 miles) for scenic hikes, cosy country pubs, and some of Yorkshire’s most beautiful rural views.
Climb the entrance steps to the front door and into a traditional hallway. Inside, this wonderful home blends opulent, boutique hotel design with classic period features – think high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, bay windows, and elegant shutters. From the hallway, make your way down into a showstopping open-plan living area where bold interiors, black wooden floors, and parquet kitchen flooring come together in perfect harmony. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly, offering a sociable space that’s as inviting as it is impressive. Vibrant colours pop against the timeless architecture, and contemporary touches, such as Bluetooth speakers, bring modern luxury to your stay. Gather around the striking glass dining table to share meals and make plans for the day ahead. On the first floor. The ‘Crane Room’ is a king-size sanctuary with a striking feature wall, while the ‘Stoker’s Room’ at the front of the house nods to Whitby’s Dracula heritage, complete with a gold-drip feature wall and a chic en-suite shower room. Further along the landing, the ‘Coastal Room’ boasts another king-size bed and its own en-suite shower room, while the playful ‘Jungle Room’ twin bedroom is great for younger guests. A family bathroom with a deep bathtub lets you unwind as you gaze out over the rooftops towards the abbey. At the top of the house, the penthouse suite awaits – a light-filled retreat with a glass roof for relaxing with a book or simply soaking in the panoramic views. This top-floor haven also boasts a colourful en-suite shower room.
Outside, there’s a small rear courtyard with seating for morning coffee or evening drinks. At the front, a private driveway provides parking for one car and includes an EV charger for added convenience.
