About this property
Located in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, in the prestigious West Cliff area is this fourth-floor loft apartment, The Loft, within a beautiful period building. Suited for a couples' romantic break to the coast, this apartment is in the centre of the historic town, perfect for exploring the sights right on your doorstep. Enter the property through the communal entrance, and up the four flights of stairs, through your own front door and past the unique wrought-iron sea-themed banister adorned with iron fish. An open-plan living space awaits you, benefiting from large windows overlooking the neighbouring buildings, where you can sit at the breakfast bar looking out with your morning coffee. The kitchen space is compact but well-positioned for its size, and contains the appliances you need for a self-catering break, such as an electric oven and hob, microwave, small fridge/freezer and even a dishwasher. A Smart TV sits on the wall opposite the plush two-seat sofa, for when you want to unwind in front a film or TV show in the evening. When night falls you can turn in to the quirky bedroom, home to a bespoke wrought iron bed frame, in-keeping with the seaside theme, it's a work of art on its own, with sloping ceilings, you can nestle down in this unique room for the night. If you are wondering how to spend your time in Whitby, then fear not as there is plenty to do, why not wander over to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum to understand more of the town's fascinating past? Or visit the Dracula Experience on the seafront where you can learn of its connection to the town. If the four flights of stairs at The Loft isn't enough, then climb the famous 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey, for a spectacular viewpoint and a chance to walk around the beautiful ruins which overlook the town. Among all of this is of course the many beaches, quirky streets and independent businesses that you could dedicate days to walking around.
