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.
