Bobbies' Retreat, 20 High Street

About this property

20 High Street is a beautifully renovated, grade II listed building circa 1820, resting in the bustling seaside town of Bridlington. Just a short walk from the beach, local amenities, and with stunning original features including wooden beams in the ceiling, exposed brickwork, and bedroom paneling, this property is an idyllic retreat for a family or friends looking for a getaway to the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Enter into the property and find yourself in a simply dreamy sitting room, with the added ambience of a woodburning stove settled into an exposed-brick fireplace, whilst an alcove provides a bookcase for guests to make the most of. From here, make your way into the kitchen and be delighted by the traditional archway, and how this space seamlessly blends contemporary decor with traditional styling, offering a charming space to cook up a storm and dine together. The rear courtyard is ideal for alfresco dining, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh air as they toast to their getaway with a glass of fizz. The character and charm of the living spaces are continued into the three bedrooms, beginning on the first floor with an incredible four-posted double bed with wood panelling and a single room, with and Jack-and-Jill access to a sleek shower room. Ascend to the second floor, where a pretty king-size bedroom can be set up as a twin on request, and sports wooden beams and the family bathroom. Bridlington Old Town is a historic Conservation Area, with 105 listed buildings close to the property. The town has plenty of shops, pubs, and eateries, and rests on final leg of the coast to coast cycle, which passes the property itself. Visit the historic Bayle Gate (including a free museum) and Bridlington Priory Church for a taste of history, before enjoying a meal in one of the local pubs or restaurants, with options including The Pack Horse, Black Lion & The Board. Nature enthusiasts will love a trip to the Bempton RSPB Nature Reserve, where there are clifftop walks and seaside views. The property has access to two beaches, allowing guests to enjoy days spent basking in the sunshine or paddling in the waves. The old town hosts many festivals during the year, including the vintage festival and Race the waves. There is so much to be enjoyed with a stay at 20 High Street.

The seaside resort of Bridlington lies on the east coast of Yorkshire, south of Scarborough and Filey.

There is also the East Riding Leisure Centre, with family swimming area and a variety of other indoor activities.
