Fairways, Cayton Bay, Scarborough

Detached 1930s bungalow on the headland with garden, outbuildings and remarkable sea views.

Fairways is a detached bungalow built in 1934 as a holiday home for the Terry’s of York family and extended in recent years by the current owners. It lies at the end of the road, quite literally, with only the open sea to the front and fields behind. Its position, setting and outlook are its defining characteristics. Breathtaking panoramic views include the 12th century romantic ruins of Scarborough Castle. Just below the clifftop lies a sandy bay, popular for swimming, surfing and dog walking. This much-loved home is on the market for the first time in twenty years.
