Built on the site of an early 19th-century co-operative union mill, this contemporary apartment enjoys a convenient spot in the Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby. A variety of shops and places to eat lie within half a mile, as does Whitby’s long, sandy beach. If you’re feeling energetic, climb the 199 steps to the iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey, said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula. Or head to Whitby Harbour for daily boat trips and to explore the fascinating Captain Cook Memorial Museum. A plethora of North Yorkshire coastal towns and villages also lie within easy reach, including Robin Hood’s Bay (5.5 miles), Staithes (10.5 miles), and Scarborough (19.5 miles).
To enter this first-floor apartment, take the lift or climb the stairs. The lounge/kitchen/dining room offers a welcoming space to put your feet up and unwind, either in front of the TV on one of the comfortable sofas or at the dining table with a home-cooked meal. When it’s time to get some much-needed sleep, there are two bedrooms to choose from, a king-size and a twin. There is also a bathroom when you require a relaxing soak.
On a warm, sunny day, open the French doors from the lounge area and step out onto the balcony to share a drink in the fresh air. A table and chairs offer the perfect spot to socialise and admire the views of Whitby Abbey in the distance.
