Located under a mile away from the ruined Abbey that inspired Bram Stoker’s dracula, this home is less gothic horror and more seaside chic. The colour palette feels luxurious and upmarket, but there’s still a beachy feel here that’s only enhanced by the view of the ocean right across the road. When you’re not out there splashing away, or exploring the narrow mediaeval streets of Whitby, you might find yourself dreaming up a beachouse romance novel… or maybe just catching up on your reading.

Clear lunch away to turn the dining table into a battleground as you play family board games. When you need a break, challenge yourself to climb the 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary before finding a pub for a well-deserved pint and a bite to eat.

Home truths:
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift
*You'll have your own private entrance here
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
