About this property
4 bedroom accommodation in Sneatonthorpe, near Whitby
This holiday property is located only 3 miles away from the popular seaside town of Whitby.. 2 steps to entrance.
Ground Floor:
Living room: Freeview TV, DVD Player, Ipod Dock, Woodburner, French Doors To Garden
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Range, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet
First Floor:
Bedroom 3: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 4: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds, Sofa Bed (Single) Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Biomass central heating (underfloor on ground floor), electricity, bed linen and towels included. Initial logs for wood burner included. Cot and highchair. Welcome pack. Shared washing machine and tumble dryer in boiler room. Large enclosed lawned garden with patio, garden furniture and barbecue. Bike store. Ample parking. No smoking.. This eco-friendly barn conversion is over 200 years old and oozes charm and character, retaining many original features, including exposed stone walls, vaulted beamed ceilings, stone flag flooring and a woodburner. This holiday property is located on a working arable farm and is surrounded by uninterrupted views towards the sea and Whitby in an idyllic rural setting, just 4 miles from the centre of Whitby on the edge of the quaint hamlet of Sneatonthorpe and 1 mile from the village of Sneaton. Sneaton boasts a friendly pub, ice cream parlour, charming tea rooms and a warm welcome from the locals. Bridle paths, cycle tracks and walkways abound from the door, with the ancient Monks Pathway being a favourite with walkers visiting this area. Whitby is a fantastic destination for holidaymakers with the steam train departing throughout the summer on its way to Grosmont and Goathland – those famous villages used in the TV series ‘Heartbeat’. Also, Whitby boasts a colourful harbour, 3 miles of sandy beach, the 12th century Abbey ruins and St Marys Church. The town also hosts many festivals throughout the year with folk weekends, 60’s music festivals and Goth weekends, bringing guests from far and wide. Mortar Barn is the ideal place for exploring both the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Heritage Coast of Yorkshire. Scarborough has been welcoming guests for more than 300 years and has all the ingredients for a family packed day at the seaside, with Filey and Bridlington a little further along the coast line. Closer to home, is the smugglers coves of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes, where pretty cottages cling to cliffs and time appears to have stood still. Discover little villages tucked away deep in the valleys as you explore the North Yorkshire’s heather clad moors. Beach 4 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
Initial fuel for woodburner included, thereafter available at £5 per basket from owner. Due to rural location Wi-Fi signal maybe limited.
There are steps within the property.
