Located in Loftus near Staithes, North Yorkshire, this charming studio cottage is part of the former station master's house in the tranquil hamlet of Liverton Mines. Designed to accommodate two guests, the property features a single bedroom and offers all ground floor amenities. The interior has been tastefully modernized, providing a high standard of comfort. Upon entering through a welcoming porch, visitors find themselves in a small kitchen that opens up to a spacious open plan studio, which includes a cozy sitting area, a dining table, and a double bed. Additionally, a contemporary fully-tiled shower room enhances the overall appeal of the cottage.
The cottage's design emphasizes warmth and hospitality, making it an inviting retreat. One of its notable external features is a private patio garden located at the rear, which sits adjacent to a commercial goods train line. This line sees six trains pass by daily; however, it is not particularly fast or noisy, allowing for a unique experience that may intrigue railway enthusiasts. In fact, a section of the fencing has been deliberately removed to provide a better view of the trains as they trundle past.
Guests will find themselves in close proximity to stunning sandy beaches and excellent walking trails, making the cottage an ideal base for couples eager to explore the picturesque countryside and popular seaside towns such as Saltburn and Whitby. The nearby fishing villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay offer charming coastal experiences, complete with historical connections to Captain Cook, small coves, coble landings, and quaint fishermen's cottages that cascade toward the sea. Visitors can meander through narrow, cobbled alleyways and enjoy delightful coffee and cakes along the waterfront.
The surrounding area presents a wealth of attractions, with the expansive North York Moors right on the doorstep. Opportunities for fishing at Scaling Dam, visits to the Danby Moors Tourist and Exhibition Centre, and rides on the steam railway at Grosmont enrich the holiday experience. This studio annexe serves as a perfect starting point for a varied and interesting getaway, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of North Yorkshire.
