Victorian Surf

Victorian Surf: North Yorkshire

Housed in a charming Victorian townhouse just minutes from Saltburn Beach, this penthouse apartment puts you in an ideal spot to explore the delights of Saltburn-by-the-Sea and its sparkling coastline.

Inside, light pours in through the living room’s skylight casting a cheerful glow on the chic, minimalist space. We love the Chesterfield-style sofa here that invites cosying up on it with a mug of tea and a good book, while the dining table is all set to host celebratory fish suppers when you’re not out sampling the local seafood restaurants.

The bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back and wonderfully comfortable, with one boasting a scenic skylight and a desk space, and the other offering an equally dreamy sleep in its beautifully dressed bed. Our favourite feature, however, has to be the bathroom’s romantic clawfoot tub, beckoning blissful evenings soaking in bubbles, a glass of bubbly in hand.

When it comes to things to see and do nearby, spend sunny days at Saltburn Beach (a seven-minute walk) or ride the UK’s oldest functioning cliff lift (also a seven-minute walk) down to the promenade to explore the 208-metre pier which stretches out into the sea. You’re also a ten-minute stroll from the Saltburn Miniature Railway and you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic walking paths, including those around the Saltburn Valley Gardens, ten minutes on foot from your door too.
