Laurel House

About this property

Tucked away down a quiet square amongst the charming streets of Whitby, this elegant Georgian townhouse is a wonderful escape for families looking to break away from everyday life. Boasting three floors full of attention to detail, emphasised through the chic furnishings and tasteful colours palettes, this is a beautifully-appointed holiday home that provides easy access to the picturesque coastline of Yorkshire. Wander over to the contemporary kitchen, finished to a high standard with a white splashback wall and modern appliances, here you’ll find everything needed to some sumptuous meals for the group. Serve these meals in the sophisticated dining room, hosting a grand dining table surrounded by vibrant furnishings, contemporary lighting and a cosy wood burning stove - this is a charming space to enjoy the company of each other. Next door in the ground floor lounge you will find a second wood burning stove, for warm gatherings on the comfortable giant Chesterfield sofa. Climb the staircase to the first floor and make yourself at home within the sitting room, taking comfort on the plush sofas to watch a good film or choose wisely from the bookcase and lose yourself in a good read! Once you are fully relaxed after a day of adventure, take your pick from four beautifully presented bedrooms; the first floor offers a king-size with en-suite bathroom and a double with en-suite shower, whilst the second floor offers a gorgeous super-king-size room and a twin, giving you plenty of choice. Both beds on the second floor are Linx zip beds, so can be set up as twins or a double and a Super king bed, giving extra flexibility. The second floor bedrooms have easy access to the family bathroom, with a spacious shower and WC. Each bedroom has been carefully decorated with neutral tones and contemporary furniture to ensure quality sleeping quarters throughout. Outside there is a South-facing courtyard, with sufficient room to park two cars and space for outdoor tables and chairs, which are stored in the property.

Whitby is situated at the mouth of the River Esk and is well placed for touring this scenic region of Yorkshire. It is a lively town with a quaint harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps. The beauty of Robin Hood's Bay is close by, as is the beach town of Scarborough and the picturesque landscapes of the North York Moors National Park.
