Craving some much needed time by the sea? This address in the heart of Whitby may just be the answer to all of your problems. Reset, relax and rejuvenate on the Yorkshire coast with this upside-down house as your idyllic base. Located just a twelve-minute stroll away from the beach, fish and chips by the sea has quite simply never seemed tastier. And if it's not weather permitting, serve up your feast in the blissful comfort of your open living room and dining area – where contemporary designs and plush furnishings offer a comfortable and soothing setting throughout. We love the consistent styling in pretty shades of pink and emerald green that bring the Scandi style interiors to life. Outside you'll have your very own private patio and decking area – perfect for catching some vitamin D on bright sunny afternoons. The quirky layout of this home is sure to keep the kids amused as this "upside-down house" has its bedrooms downstairs while the main living area is upstairs. And if that doesn't do it, a trip out to Whitby Abbey (a six-minute drive away) most definitely will – as it was here where Bram Stroker drew inspiration for his... gothic novel 'Dracula'.

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...
