Inside apartment with balcony, fabulous views, and a luxury spa bathroom

With what the agent describes as ‘one of the finest coastal outlooks in Yorkshire’, the two bedroom property has a private balcony looking right across the harbour, old town and 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey.

It is moments from the whale bone arch, and according to the agent is a home that ‘truly captures the soul of this historic seaside town’.

Apartment Five has a first floor corner position within the landmark property, now divided into elegant homes.

It is within the original townhouse that was once home to Mr and Mrs Kirby, and retains classic period style while embracing modern comforts.

Tall sash windows allow natural light to flood the interior, while the balcony has wonderful views over sea and harbour.

There’s a stunning sitting room with high ceiling, and the kitchen has upgraded cabinetry, with an integrated double oven and electric hob.

In the bathroom is an Insignia Steam Cabin, whirlpool bath, rainwater shower, LED lighting and aromatherapy settings for a full spa-type experience.

With two double bedrooms is a versatile third room currently used as a dining room or study.

The whole building has undergone extensive restoration including a new roof, a full exterior upgrade, and reinstatement of its classic wrought-iron balcony.

Included with the apartment is a private garage, held on a separate title, and use of an unallocated parking space, plus communal bike storage.

Entry to the building is secure, with CCTV and lighting to the rear. A lift provides easy access to all floors.

The location of the apartment is enviable in many ways, not least for the many cafes and independent shops lining Skinner Street, just around the corner.

The sandy beach, pier and Whitby's many cobbled streets are all just a short stroll away.
