Railway Sleepers takes its name from its proximity to Whitby’s train station, where steam trains puff their way to the platform through the summer months. There are steps down from the parking bays into your enclosed lawned front garden, with flower beds bursting with colour throughout spring and summer. A front porch leads into the house, where the hallway branches to the living room at the front, and the spacious, well-equipped kitchen/dining room at the rear. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and the house bathroom on the first floor. There is a bedroom on the second floor under the eaves with three single beds, however there is only one bathroom and the living room is more suited for a maximum of six people. At the back of the property is a small, enclosed yard with a secure locked shed which can be used for bikes as well as other outdoor equipment such as surf boards.

Whitby is a proud seafaring town; you can find out more at the museums or even first hand up at the abbey ruins. Walk through the whale bone archway on the West Cliff or visit the shipwreck on Saltwick Bay and look up into the cliffs to spot the smugglers’ tunnels.

For those who wish to experience the wonders of this inspiring area, why not take a long, lazy walk amid the scenic beauty of the North York Moors National Park, which can be accessed by the heritage steam train winding its way through the rolling hills of heather? You can also explore quaint coastal villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes or Runswick Bay. Take in the sights along the seafront at Filey, Scarborough or Saltburn. And if you’re a history buff, take a trip into York to soak up the culture brought by both the Romans and the Vikings.

Closer to home, you are just a leisurely stroll away from the many attractions the popular seaside town of Whitby has to offer, including the long golden stretch of sandy beach, the 199 steps up to the St Mary’s Church perched on the cliff top, the boat trips and the freshly caught fish and seafood. In the evenings you have the most relaxing holiday home to return to, where you can unwind around the wood burner whilst planning the adventures for the days ahead. Beach ¾ mile.
