Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in the heart of Whitby, this home puts the dramatic North Yorkshire coastline – and the hiking and cycling routes of the North York Moors – within easy reach. Formerly a church building, the interiors are modern with some characterful touches such as arched windows and curved ceilings. All four bedrooms are located on the ground floor, while upstairs you'll find an open-plan kitchen and dining room as well as a separate living space. From here, you can stroll down to seaside restaurants and pubs, wander along West Cliff Beach or explore the Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey.
