This contemporary penthouse near West Cliff in Whitby offers a romantic bolthole for couples with stunning views over the sea and town – and magical sunrises and sunsets. Whitby makes a great base for exploring the Yorkshire coast and North York Moors. There’s plenty to do right on your doorstep, from climbing the 199 steps to St Mary’s Church and the ruins of Whitby Abbey, to relaxing on the beach, and sampling the town’s restaurants, cafes, fish and chip shops, and quirky tearooms. The North York Moors is within easy reach with numerous hiking and cycling trails through its spectacular scenery – a popular way to visit is via the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a heritage steam line that runs from Whitby to the market town of Pickering (20 miles).
This is a modern penthouse apartment, served by a lift, which boasts huge windows to make the most of those glorious views, and excellent attention to detail throughout. Located on the fourth floor, you enter via the hall, which has a large storage cupboard and coat hooks. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows and views across to the abbey and out to sea. There are two seating areas: a sofa facing the TV and entertainment corner, and two lounge chairs and a footstool next to one of the large windows. There is a door leading to the balcony. The circular dining table and chairs sit in another window, while the fully fitted kitchen has all you may need for preparing meals at home. Down the hall, there’s a bedroom with a king-size bed and views along the coast to Sandsend, and a family bathroom.
Outside, the balcony has a bistro table and chairs, perfect for enjoying a meal or drinks alfresco while delighting in the magnificent views.
