Destiny Rose

Destiny Rose is a wonderful holiday home that’s full of character, set within a distinctive 19th-century Tudor-style terrace in the heart of Whitby. It has been thoughtfully renovated to create a wonderful blend of period elegance and modern style, making it a fantastic base for families or friends looking to explore this wonderful part of the Yorkshire coast.

As you step inside from the pretty front garden, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The sitting room is a lovely, spacious area to unwind, with a large bay window that fills the room with light. Settle into the comfortable leather sofas in the evening and enjoy the cosy glow from the gas fire set within a handsome feature fireplace.

Just down the hall, the separate dining room provides a wonderful setting for sharing meals and making plans for the days ahead. It’s also a quiet corner to curl up with a good book, with a selection of games and DVDs provided for your entertainment. The kitchen is a real highlight, styled with a country feel and featuring a stunning wooden-beamed ceiling. It’s equipped with everything you could need to prepare delicious holiday feasts, and a small breakfast bar offers a spot for a quick coffee in the morning. A convenient ground-floor shower room and a utility area complete the downstairs layout.

The bedrooms are spread over the upper two floors, offering plenty of space for everyone. On the first floor, you’ll find three generous and well-presented rooms, two of which have wonderfully comfortable super-king beds, while the third is a peaceful single room. The large family bathroom is also on this floor, a bright space with a bath and an overhead shower, so you can choose between a long soak or a quick, refreshing rinse.

A second staircase leads up to a bright and cheerful eaves bedroom with two single beds. With its own little en-suite cloakroom and Velux windows, it makes a perfect den for younger guests.

Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard is a lovely private space to relax. Here you can enjoy a meal at the patio table or slip into the fabulous hot tub for a relaxing soak after a day spent exploring the coast. Having private, off-road parking for two cars is a fantastic bonus, allowing you to leave the car and explore Whitby on foot.

The location is superb. You are just a short and pleasant walk from the town centre and the sandy beach, with Pannett Park and its museum even closer. Wander down to the harbour, explore the winding streets, and perhaps climb the famous 199 Steps to see the magnificent Abbey ruins. For a day out, you can head into the stunning North York Moors National Park for a walk or bike ride through the heather. Destiny Rose is a charming and comfortable home that puts all of Whitby’s treasures right on your doorstep.
