Wayside Cottage, Goathland, North Yorkshire, Whitby, YO22 5AN

Set back off The Common, which runs through the centre of the village, Wayside Cottage sits in an elevated position enjoying stunning views over the valley to the rugged moorland beyond on a very generous garden plot. Extended from the original footprint the cottage offers spacious accommodation and whilst some upgrading of fixtures and fittings to personal taste maybe be required, the cottage nevertheless offers a wonderful opportunity to have a lovely home in this sought after moorland village. It is also worth noting that the cottage had previously been a small B & B and with en-suites to all bedrooms this maybe something that could be resurrected if so desired. The size of the gardens may also allow some potential for development, subject to the necessary permissions.

Goathland is set in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, around 9 miles to the south-west of the popular and historic seaside town of Whitby, and around 14 miles north-east of the market town of Pickering. Famously used as the fictional village of Aidensfield in the TV show Heartbeat, and is a picturesque stop on the North York Moors Steam Railway.

Goathland village has many local amenities including pubs, hotels with restaurants, shops including a post office, church and primary school, etc whilst Whitby has all the facilities one would expect of a large seaside town.

Whitby is famous for its Abbey Ruins and association with Dracula (written in the town) and Captain James Cook, the world-famous explorer. Dotted with pretty, independent shops, bars and restaurants, the town also has opportunities for sea fishing, sailing, golf etc.

The road network locally is principally 'A' roads, but Whitby has a train line connecting to Middlesbrough and the line from nearby Scarborough and Malton connects to York and beyond. Durham Tees Valley Airport is around 40 miles away.
