Welcome to Harbour Heights, a beautifully restored Grade II listed property, fully renovated throughout in 2025, and set across four thoughtfully designed floors. Nestled on the historic East Side of Whitby, this elegant home is just a short stroll from both the bustling harbour below and the iconic Whitby Abbey, perched dramatically on the headland above.
Accessed via 18 external steps, the property has an enclosed patio garden. A tranquil spot for relaxing after a day of exploring. The raised seating area, complete with a gas fire at the centre of the table, makes for a cosy evening gathering place, perfect for unwinding under the stars. (Please note: the neighbouring property has shared access through the garden.)
Stepping in from the garden, you arrive on the first floor, which leads up or down through this character-filled home. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stylish open-plan living area. This inviting space includes a sumptuous corner sofa, a central dining table, and a modern kitchen. Cleverly laid out to make the most of the space. A multi-fuel stove adds a warm, homely atmosphere, and a door from this level leads you to a rear pathway, where stone steps descend directly to the harbour.
On the first floor, there’s a spacious double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, dressing table and a separate shower room. The second floor offers another double bedroom, also with built-in storage, a dressing table, and views over the harbour, alongside a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The third floor features a charming twin bedroom, tucked beneath original exposed beams. Mind your head on the way up! This room also includes two additional pull-out beds, making it a cosy and versatile space for up to four guests. From here, enjoy breathtaking views across the rooftops, out to the harbour, sea, and even the steam trains as they journey across the moors.
Located in Whitby, one of Yorkshire’s most beloved coastal towns, Harbour Heights offers direct access to cobbled streets, seafood restaurants, independent shops, and the beach. Visit Whitby Abbey, made famous by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, climb the 199 Steps, or take a boat trip from the harbour. Further afield, the North York Moors National Park, Robin Hood’s Bay, and Goathland (home to Heartbeat) are within easy reach. Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, a family adventure, or a base for exploring the Yorkshire coast, Harbour Heights offers luxury, history, and charm in equal measure.
