This beautiful semi-detached house sleeps 12 comfortably and is comprised of 2 ensuite kingsize bedrooms, a third kingsize bedroom and 3 twin rooms with two additional family bathrooms. It is the perfect place for a memorable reunion with friends and family.
There is a large lounge, the separate dining room holds a table large enough for all 12 guests to enjoy celebration meals together. Both the dining room and lounge have open fires to relax infront of after a day out exploring. In addition, there is a separate fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and Aga, plus a utility room with washer and drier as well as a downstairs toilet.

About the host
Hosted by James Ratcliff
We bought this property to run as a holiday rental. We had always dreamed of having a holiday home which we could run as a family business, so this is a dream come true. We have refurbished the house, decorated it from top to bottom, while rescuing many of the original features which had been hidden over the years.
Why they chose this property
We love this area and fell in love with the character of the old property. The house was in need of a lot of 'tender loving care', but we knew that it was the house for us.
Whitby being on the doorstep is an added bonus as there is always something happening, whether it be a music weekend, the famous Goth weekend, or just a visit to the Abbey.
There is no finer sight than watching the sheep roaming free in the village or feasting on the heather; or watching the steam trains puffing through the area.
To say that the garden was over-grown would be an understatement! We salvaged various items from the garden and shed, from the servants bell (now in the kitchen) to a fire hearth (now in the master ensuite).

What makes this property unique
Although the property is conveniently located in the village, it is situated on a peaceful lane. There are lovely walks from the front door in all directions.
A new kitchen has been installed, complete with modern amenities while keeping the charm of the working AGA (recently converted to electricity). The breakfast bar enables you to have an informal snack or relax and chat while cooking. We have aimed to refurbish the house sympathetically, while also installing modern essentials, such as ensuites and modern shower rooms.
The garden is fully enclosed and so a safe area for the dogs to roam - we have dogs and they love to go for a walk on the Moors.
We love the village as it has everything you need on your doorstep there is no need to go any further if you don't want the hassle, a truly perfect holiday location.
