Emerald in the Stone

Emerald in the Stone: North Yorkshire

A cosy bungalow complete with wooden rafters, exposed brickwork, and a roll top tub, this beautiful home is a hidden gem on the North Yorkshire coast. If the charming stony facade isn’t enough to win you over, step inside and find a peaceful atmosphere and understated elegance waiting for you inside. Although the fireplace makes a big statement, the attention to detail in the furnishings, artwork, and colour palette shouldn’t be missed. Spend long, lazy mornings sipping coffee and chatting in the open living, dining and kitchen space before setting off towards Saltburn-by-the-Sea – only a short drive away.

Spend the day in the sand and surf, ride the oldest working UK cliff lift down to the pier and walk the promenade. Grab a bite to eat at a waterfront restaurant, followed by ice cream as you take a few family photos before returning home.

As beautiful as the cottage is inside, the real jewel of this home is the garden. Watch the sunset from the hot tub, fire up the grill for a barbecued dinner, enjoy meals alfresco, and if you want to stay out late for a bit of stargazing, why not kindle a fire in the outdoor burner by which to warm your hands.
