Found in the vibrant seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, the historic grade II listed Engine Shed has been beautifully transformed into a modern apartment known as George Stephenson. This charming retreat serves as an ideal base for exploring the stunning Yorkshire coast with family or friends, comfortably accommodating up to three guests across its two double bedrooms. The apartment is situated on the ground floor, offering picturesque views of the steam railway and the renowned Whitby Abbey from multiple angles, making it a delightful spot for relaxation and exploration.
The Engine Shed, which was partially bombed during World War II, underwent a thoughtful rebuild in 2019, preserving its historic essence while incorporating contemporary design elements. The open-plan living space serves as the heart of the apartment, seamlessly merging the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The modern kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances, quartz work surfaces, and mood lighting, ensuring a sophisticated cooking experience. Guests can unwind in the living area, which features a Smart TV for entertainment after a day of adventures.
Each of the two double bedrooms is tastefully decorated, with the master bedroom offering an en-suite WC and its own Smart TV, enhancing the comfort and convenience for guests. The apartment's central location in Whitby means that visitors have easy access to a variety of local attractions, eateries, and pubs, ensuring there is no shortage of activities to keep the entire family entertained during their stay.
While the property boasts a car park located on the first floor, it is important to note that guests with mobility restrictions may prefer accommodations on the first floor for easier access. For larger groups, George Stephenson can be booked alongside several other properties, providing the opportunity to host up to 32 people in total, making it a perfect choice for family reunions or gatherings with friends in this picturesque coastal town.
