Situated a stick’s throw from the River Esk in the historic seaside town of Whitby, this former sea merchant’s home provides a characterful and calming retreat with beautiful harbour views and plenty of dog walks nearby.
After a day enjoying the fetching surrounding coastline, lead the way up the stone steps and through the front door to cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen/diner adorned with a beamed ceiling and a farmhouse-style wooden dining table on top of a rug, perfect for your canine companion to curl up on. Head upstairs to the rustic living room to hunker down for the evening on the cosy leather sofas as your pup dozes in front of the ornate ornamental fireplace. There is a comfortable king size bedroom, or lead the way up to the third-floor bedroom to enjoy beautiful harbour views and dream of tomorrow’s adventure underneath the charming eaves. All floors within this property contain beautiful views of the harbour, the River Esk and of Whitby Old Town. Outside, there’s a romantic front patio area perfect for little paws to pad around as you soak up some sunshine.
Its rich gothic culture and labyrinth of cobbled streets filled with locally owned shops and cafes give Whitby an eclectic yet bustling atmosphere that you’ll be barking mad not to fall in love with. Soak up the stunning surrounding scenery and race your canine companion up the iconic 199 Whitby Abbey steps, just under 1 mile away, to be rewarded with panoramic views over the ruins of the gothic abbey and coastline beyond. Take the lead on an adventure around the bustling harbour (2 miles) to sniff out the catch of the day before treating your pup to an afternoon chasing the tide along the gorgeous sandy stretch of Whitby Beach less than 0.5 miles away.
