Watching Whitby life go by from the terrace of this award-winning home is a moment you'll never tire of. It's a view best savoured at dusk as the lights of the town flicker on, and the ghostly ruins of the Abbey begin to glow. Stepping inside, this immaculate home oozes character and charm, much like the town it resides in. Designed to make the most of those knockout vistas from all angles, mealtimes in the open-plan kitchen and dining room are always atmospheric with those views out the windows. And you'll love the scenes revealed through the windows of each restful, serene bedroom upstairs. When the charms of Whitby finally lure you in, you won't have far to go. Located in the centre of the bustlng town, dive into its narrow, winding streets to discover traditional inns and lively restaurants aplenty. Or take things down to the beach, so little ones and four-legged friends alike can run off some steam before a lip-smacking supper of fish and chips overlooking the sea. And of course, no visit to Whitby would be complete without calling in on Dracula's old haunt, the Abbey – the views from the hilltop where the ruins perch are worth the climb alone.

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...
