There's something to satisfy everyone's wanderlust at this Yorkshire barn conversion property, nestled on the outskirts of the old-fashioned fishing village of Staithes and just a twenty-minute drive from Whitby. Wrapped in the North Yorkshire hills, there are scenic walks across the dramatic rolling moors whichever way you turn, or head for the sandy shores and bustling harbour of Staithes, just a twenty-minute walk away (or three-minute drive). Within its winding cobbled streets, you'll find bustling pubs, shops, art galleries, and of course, all the fish and chips you could muster. Spend the day at the sheltered sandy beach shell combing and rock pooling, take to the waters from the village for a boat jaunt to Whitby, or try out a fishing tour. Just be sure to make it home with plenty of time to switch on the hot tub and relax in the bubbles under the stars – there's no better way to finish a day. Inside the home, the barn's original exposed gable ceilings have been expertly restored to create an open, lofty feel to each pristine room. We're particularly fond of the barn doors, painted a dashing shade of red and reimagined into picture windows, opening out to reveal glimpses of green landscapes from nearly every room.
