About this property

Situated on Flowergate in the centre of Whitby, with shops, pubs and the famous abbey within a short stroll, is Henderson House. This stylish duplex apartment is set over three floors, offering a couple or family of four the chance to discover a beautiful part of Yorkshire. With the North York Moors right on the doorstep and fabulous walking opportunities along the East Coast, enjoy a well-deserved break with your loved ones. Entrance to the apartment is gained via one of Whitby's famous historic yards, 'Gardiners Yard', which brings you to the front door and up a flight of carpeted stairs to your accommodation. You have a handy utility room housing a washer machine and Belfast sink, followed by a modern kitchen with a corner arrangement featuring granite worktops and a breakfast bar. Head up the twisted staircase to the second floor and find a stylish dining room offers an eclectic mix of contemporary and period architecture.

Gather here for a hearty breakfast or a delicious, steaming hot dinner and chat over the events of the day. Glide a few more steps to the bathroom, which offers a beautiful, claw foot bath tub with shower over, perfect for a long hot soak after a day on the beach.

Relax in the sitting room on the three-seater sofa, or sink into the armchair and admire the original cornice work and high ceilings lending a nod to the past.

The third floor plays host to the bedrooms, each a lovely spot to rest your head for the night; the double offers views across the rooftops of Whitby towards the harbour, while the twin has dual aspect flooding natural light into the space.
