About this property

This stunning three bedroom apartment, dating back to the 17th Century, boasts a prime location on the cobbled Church Street in Whitby’s atmospheric Old Town, close to the famous 199 steps and many quaint shops, tea rooms and restaurants.

Families and friends will fall in love with the old world charm of this stylish property and its environs.

Approach via a flagged courtyard. A staircase leads to a delightful kitchen with dining area, a lovely spot to enjoy lazy breakfasts and chat about your plans for the day.



The kitchen leads to an inner hallway which in turn leads to a spacious sitting room. The beamed ceiling, original wooden floors and fireplace, as well as some lovely antique furniture, create a marvellous sense of history. Relax in comfort and imagine the place in times gone by. From the window, there’s even a glimpse of the harbour and sea.

To the upper floor is a gorgeous, light-drenched king-sized double bedroom with en-suite shower room with double shower, basin and WC. Luxury and period features abound, with a decorative original fireplace, two sash windows and stylish wooden floor.



There are two twin bedrooms with full size 3′ beds. The rooms are tastefully decorated to create a tranquil feel, with smart roman blinds and cosy carpets.

The house shower room has a corner shower, basin and WC.

Whitby’s iconic Abbey and St Mary’s Church are in the immediate vicinity. Meander over the swing bridge into the harbour and take a coastal cruise to see Whitby a different way.

The pretty fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay are within easy reach. A steam train ride from Whitby to Grosmont across the stunning North York Moors is a must. Further afield, history lovers will be enchanted with Castle Howard, location for ‘Brideshead Revisted’ and, more recently, ITV’s ‘Victoria’.

Foresters is a charming cottage in a coastal town that simply oozes history.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an abundance of activity so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for every interest and time of year. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set, or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Hosting an abundance of leisure facilities, opportunities to explore the natural lands, and plenty of coastal delights, Whitby offers something for everyone. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay full of heritage wonders and scenic spots, and in reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.

    Having talked to the neighbours opposite, they say this happens often as it it dumped by other holiday properties in the alley and then attacked by seagulls and rats leaving a huge mess that is a very unwelcome entrance. Inside the hallway smells. The flat was not cleaned thoroughly prior to our arrival. The dining table and kitchen floor was sticky and the chairs had crumbs all over them. The window sills are filthy in the kitchen and the pillow cases in the main room had marks on them. There’s no hair dryer! The tefal frying pan is so worn that the tefal is flaking off which is actually a Heath hazard and needs replacing. A point of concern- where is the fire escape?! There’s one exit. The windows are painted shut in the lounge which is a potential exit point. We have rented from Sykes in the past but this is the first time we’ve felt the need to complain. It is an expensive property for the standard. While we appreciate it’s an old flat it is overpriced and in need of attention- especially sorting out the rubbish problem with the neighbours.
