Enjoy the comforts of a modern apartment decorated to a high standard in what used to be Whitby’s shipyard, making the town’s myriad attractions conveniently on the doorstep. This riverside property is on Whitehall Landing, a modern development of townhouses and apartments less than half a mile from the old town with its famous ruined abbey, long sandy beach and delicious seafood. The harbour is steeped in history, and you can visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum to see where the British explorer first worked as an apprentice before setting sail to discover Australia. Whitby Museum showcases fossils, model ships and other curiosities.
Take the lift or the stairs to this first-floor apartment, which opens out onto a hallway and then into the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. From your seat in the deep-set window, you can just catch a glimpse of the tidal River Esk. The bedroom has a king-size bed and the bathroom features a shower over the bath.
