This delightful two-storey, stone-built cottage sits on a hill overlooking the Yorkshire coast. It’s perfect for a family getaway or a couple’s retreat. Situated in a quiet location near the seaside village of Ravenscar (1.5 miles), there are a handful of local shops, restaurants and cafes. For sea views and the possibility of spotting seals, follow The Cleveland Way south to Ravenscar or north to Robin Hood’s Bay, both are within 2 miles by foot (please check the tides times). Whitby is 8 miles away and a fascinating place for a day out with shopping options, museums and art galleries, and stylish places to dine. Stroll along Whitby’s golden sandy beach with a takeaway fish and chips, or climb the famous 199 steps to the historic Whitby Abbey ruins.
From the second you step through the front door of this cottage, you’ll be captivated by its charm and character. Inside the lounge, the traditional wooden beams, floor, doors and furnishings make this a delightful space to wind down on the sofas while the wood burner crackles away. Features include an exposed brick chimney breast and twisting, floating stairs which take you up to the first floor. Stepping down into the modern farmhouse-style kitchen, you’ll see that there is plenty of space on the wooden surfaces for preparing a special, home-cooked meal. There’s a TV in this room to keep you entertained while you’re cooking or enjoying breakfast. Heading back into the living room, follow the stairs up to the first floor, and you’ll find two bedrooms and a bathroom. The master room boasts a luxurious king sized bed and a window seat with sea views. It’s an idyllic place for relaxing and getting stuck into a good book with a cup of coffee. If you’ve got children, the second room has bunk beds for them to sleep in (this is not suitable for adults). Inside the stylish bathroom, there is an opulent roll-top bath for sinking into.
As you walk out into the tiered garden, you’ll be greeted by steps up to gravelled seating areas where you can dine alfresco, alongside grassy levels too. The astonishing sea views are the stand-out feature here. There’s also a swing seat on a decked area, which you can sit on while gazing out at the green fields and striking coastline. The property has private parking for two cars.
