About this property
A superb Georgian end-terrace property with stunning sea views, just a skip and a hop down the hill to the beach and harbour in Scarborough. Enter into a warm and homely sitting room, complete with arm chairs where you can sit before the open fire in the evening hours. Double doors open to a lovely dining area, filled with natural lighting and overlooked by a glass ceiling so you can see the open skies. Perfect for enjoying breakfast or hosting a social afternoon with friends. You can wander outside into the enclosed yard from here, where you can rest on the seating area or enjoy a good barbecue.
A contemporary kitchen is a signature part of this accommodation, glamorous, and the perfect blend of black and white furnishings. This is an elegant place to prepare your favourite meals. Two steps up will take you into another sitting room with a sofa and a woodburner for a cosy effect. Wander up the steep staircase and a super king-size bedroom is accompanied by pretty bedding, and a peaceful window view. A king-size bedroom upholds the same level of quality and is neatly accessorised with a feature fire place and a compact desk for a soothing over touch. Another set of stairs takes you up to a twin and a super king-size bedroom carrying a seaside theme for a breathe of fresh air.
All rooms are divided by a Jack-and-Jill shower room which rests inbetween each floor. When the sun is shining, make the most of the patio, which looks out to the sea, or even wander into Scarborough for sandy beaches, parks and gardens, and fine buildings. Well appointed for touring the coastline and the moors, Scarborough promises an enticing getaway.
The seaside town of Scarborough hosts many original buildings, parks and gardens, as well as a historic castle which overlooks the town. Ideally situated for touring the coastline and the moors, North Bay and South Bay provide two stretches of sandy beaches. Attractions include the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough Spa and Scarborough Open Air Theatre for live music.

Parking is difficult at times due to limited spaces in parking bays on streets nearby, although parking permits are useful. The accomidation was well appointed and kitchen area was good. House in need of a good clean as there was spiders webs all over the house and not only on difficult to reach areas. Under furniture was filthy and had obviously not been cleaned for months. Decor was adequate but would benefit from a paint job as starting to look tired. The bedrooms were of a good size and had plenty of storage space, comfortable beds. Toilets and showers good. The accommodation is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as stairs to upper floors are very narrow and steep. Also moving from the living areas to the conservatory there are two steep stairs which can be dangerous to small children and elderly persons. The rear garden is very small and was overgrown with weeds. Living area is also small for a property that sleeps eight. Two small individual living rooms both of which only seat 4-5 people, not ideal if eight people wish to be together. Also only one small TV in the property again not ideal if children want to use PlayStations or watch child programmes when adults may wish to watch other channels. Also the security of the property is compromised by the latches on the rear patio doors not being secure and some broken. This property could be so much better if a little more effort was put in to maintaining the standards of other Sykes properties I have booked

The inside of the property was very well presented however, there were some minor issues. 1. The shower on the first floor leaked when turned off. 2. The remote for the TV only worked intermittently. 3. We didnât feel totally secure as the bolt locks on the back patio doors were poor quality. One of the two bolts in the middle of the doors was broken as was one of the floor bolts.

Itâs superbly equipped with everything you could need. Close enough to the harbour but in a quiet area away from the noise. Our 8 year old granddaughter wants to live there!
