This home is the vision of Sir Joseph Paxton, a renowned Victorian architect who is best known for designing Crystal Palace in London. It's situated right on Scarborough's South Bay, and offers incredible views across the golden sands and out to sea. You can enjoy this vista from the long balcony, the dining area or even through an antique telescope. Whichever angle you look out from, you'll feel rejuvenated by the beautiful scenery. Intimate and serene, this house is completely yours to enjoy. Should you wish for a more social setting, you can also access the amenities at the neighbouring sister hotel. You'll find a pool, spa, sauna and gym ready to help you truly relax. Furthering the luxury experience, the hosts are also on-hand to provide assistance whenever you need it – they'll even help to arrange a private chef if you're planning to celebrate a special occasion. Whether you want to chill out at home, wander through the neighbouring Italian gardens or explore the stunning North Yorkshire coast, this historic home caters to your every need.
