The Victorian Residence
Furnished with exquisite, antique, Victorian furniture, this characterful apartment is like stepping back in time. With period features such as tall sash windows and high ceilings, the building dates back to the 1890’s. With the convenience of an off-road designated parking bay outside, which is a big bonus when in the town centre. At the front of the property, stone steps lead you up to the front door with communal stairs leading you up to the second-floor apartment.
Stepping inside the hallway branches to the different rooms, the living room is a generous size with a large sofa, as well as antique armchairs around the TV and electric fire. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a separate dining room where you can share meals together whilst planning the days of exploration ahead. There are two beautifully presented bedrooms, the master has a carved, wooden, double bed, with a double wardrobe and large drawers, all authentic heritage pieces of furniture, evoking the property’s history. The second bedroom has an antique brass double bed, with a dressing table, drawers, and a built-in wardrobe. The apartment is complete with a bathroom with a shower over the bath.
There are restaurants, bars, pubs and shops within a short stroll, and the beach is less than a 15-minute walk. Once on the seafront there are over three miles of flat promenade to walk along, crossing from South Bay to North Bay, separated by the castle on the hilltop. At the far end of the North Bay there is the Sealife Centre as well as Peasholm Park with wooded walks, tumbling stream, and lake where boats and pedalos can be hired, both great visits for all the family. You also have one of Europes largest open-air theatres, hosting an exciting line up of live performances over the summer. Alpamare water park and spa is ideal for a self-indulgent day out, where you can swim in steaming hot outdoor pools, book in for a massage, or enjoy sea views from the sauna. The gently shelving, wide sandy beaches at Scarborough have won several awards for cleanliness. The resorts of Filey, Flamborough Head and Bridlington are further south, whilst to the north, Robin Hood’s Bay, Whitby, Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes are all very popular for day trips. The RSPB bird sanctuary is just along the coast at Bempton Cliffs where thousands of puffins, guillemots, and gannets perch along the rocks. There are viewing points from which to spot all the different breeds of seabirds that arrive every year, as well as the seals that sunbathe on the rocks below.
Within an hour you can be in the medieval, walled city of York with its majestic minster standing proudly in the centre of the city. The narrow-cobbled streets, city walls, individual shops and fantastic museums make it an enjoyable day for all age groups. Take a trip on an open top tourist bus or river boat and learn about the history of the famous city. York can also be reached by train direct from Scarborough, so why not leave the car at home? You are within a 15-minute walk from Scarborough’s train station. All in all, this town house apartment is a great base to visit the east coast of Yorkshire. Your well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you on your stay, there are many dog friendly cafes as well as some wonderful dog walks in and around Scarborough. Due to the period antique furniture this property is only suitable for guests over the age of 16.
