A spiral staircase leads up to a cabin-style bedroom and shower room, tucked into the eaves of the building.
Decorated and maintained to a high standard, this Ruswarp cottage provides a comfortable holiday home with steam trains passing the door and excellent village amenities, including a good butcher's, a local shop and a pub serving real ale and good food.
With boating on the River Esk and a lovely waterside tea room, the locality has much to offer.
The Esk Valley Walk runs through the village and a public footpath offers a pleasant walk into the historic port of Whitby, with its pretty harbour, sandy beaches and wide range of restaurants and shops.
With the beautiful heather-clad moors and dramatic coastline to explore, this Ruswarp cottage is in the perfect location.
