Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home in the coastal town of Whitby takes plenty of inspiration from its maritime location. Step inside the three-storey townhouse, and you'll find a gorgeous living room in nautical tones of blue and white, creating a soothing atmosphere. You'll love making use of the cocktail shaker to mix your favourite drinks, and relaxing in the private courtyard after a day of exploring. On chillier nights, huddle up around the original cast iron fireplace to get toasty, or get busy in the sleek kitchen before serving your culinary creations in the traditional dining room. There's plenty to see in this unique town, from the boats bobbing in the harbour to the cosy pubs and quirky tea rooms. And don't forget to tackle the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey, made famous by Bram Stoker's Dracula – the views are well worth the twenty-minute walk from your front door.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
