Fylingholm is an impressive, Grade ll-listed late Victorian residence with the datestone 1899 above its front door.
Situated along a country lane which leads to a sandy cove at Boggle Hole, this remarkable home was built for a Bradford based newspaper proprietor, and has changed hands rarely.
Now, for the first time in nearly 50 years, Fylingholm is offered for sale as a unique family home.
Built with high-quality Victorian engineering brick, with mullion windows, projecting buttresses, and intricate detailing, Fylingholm is a fine example of period craftsmanship.
The three-storey detached home has retained many original features, from pitch-pine flooring, to heavy ceiling beams, and a striking staircase.
Modern comforts, such as central heating, have been implemented with great care.
The main entrance opens to a lobby with tiled floor, then a spacious hallway with staircase to the upper floors.
There are doors to the dining kitchen and the double aspect lounge, with a feature fireplace, and access to the side garden and pergola.
The large dining-kitchen has amazing sea views that stretch from Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar.
A recently installed electric Aga provides warmth and character, while leaving ample space for a large table, working surfaces and informal seating.
The original back door opens to a garden room created from an open yard with a clear roof, linking outbuildings and with access to the rear garden. A boiler room and store is adjoining.
A former wash house and forge is now a study or home office, with shelved walls and an original door to the front garden.
Three first floor bedrooms with period fireplaces include a main bedroom with a small, sea-view balcony, and a bathroom with airing cupboard has an original cast iron bath.
The second floor consists of two double bedrooms and a box room with panoramic views.
Most rooms in the house are decorated with William Morris wallpaper.
Fylingholm's mature gardens include sweeping lawns, established flower beds, and a variety of trees and shrubs, with secluded seating areas.
A huge pine tree is something of a landmark.
With a small driveway, the property has a brick fuel store and two garden sheds.
An overgrown orchard opposite the house is south-facing with stunning sea views. It holds apple trees, hazels, oaks and other broadleaves.
The beach lies around half a mile away at Boggle Hole where you can also join the Cleveland Way, and the old railway line running down the coast is about half a mile inland.
Pubs and shops can be found in Fylingthorpe and Robin Hoods Bay, while secondary schools are in Whitby and Scarborough.
Fylingholm, Fylingdales, YO22 4QG, is for sale at £725,000, with Richardson and Smith, Whitby.
