About this property
Positioned in Fraisthorpe near Bridlington, a coastal harbour town, is St Edmunds Church, a sympathetically restored church, now accommodating four guests for a self-catered stay. Enjoying a stylish interior, whilst preserving many original features, including the original 13th century font, alter stone and amazing East window, the home offers the ideal base for a seaside escape for couples sharing or a group celebration. Benefit from off-road parking and an EV charging point. Be prepared to be wowed by the open-plan living space, adorning lofty ceilings, stained-glass windows, marble worktops, plush velvet sofas, and a well-equipped kitchen; use this space, dotted with luxury touches, to dine, relax, socialise, and plan your itinerary. Catch some rest in one of two double bedrooms, both enjoying elevated views over either end of the building, both well-appointed with beamed ceilings and serviced by a sleek shower room (the bedrooms do have sloping ceilings as built in the Church rafters). Awaken to an itinerary brimming with exploration, with the chance to visit the Bridlington North Beach & Promenade, Danes Dyke Beach, and the stunning Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast for coastal walks and the best vantage point. Stop off for a bite to eat in the local area, at The Cow Shed Cafe down on the local beach, Salt on the Harbour, or grab some delicious fish and chips and stroll along the beach, before travelling towards Filey, its beach, golf club and museum, offering something for everyone. Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are keen areas of interest to explore, brimming with history and attractions, including Scarborough Castle, Cleveland Way, the ideal hiking area, and the manicured grounds of Peasholm Park, before heading for Dalby Forest, a gateway into the North York Moors National Park, or head inland towards the historic town of Beverley and city of York. Enjoy a unique base by booking St Edmunds Church.
Six miles south of Bridlington on the east coast is the small village of Barmston. On a clear day, you can see for kilometres up and down the coast from the cliff top of this welcoming, rustic community that looks out over the North Sea. There is a pub that serves food in the town square. This peaceful community is completed with a duck pond, and a sandy beach may be found nearby. The region is perfect for family vacations with a variety of activities and attractions available, including the Bempton Nature Reserve, Hornsea Freeport, golf courses, and historic homes and gardens. It is located between the classic seaside towns of Bridlington and Skipsea.

Location wise It has great walks for your best friend (dog), a walk to the beach only took around 25 mins or 4 mins by car the choice is yours but if walking take care as itâs the only road to the beach and most cars/vans do slow down for you
