Outside
From the village road, the property has a driveway leading up to the garage adjoining the house, with a lawned front garden bounded by evergreen shrubs and trees.

The property has a second point of access with a gate opening onto a track giving vehicular access to the side and rear of the property. Off the track, there isa wooden pony stable and wooden workshop, roughly level with the house.

The plot is woodland fringed, but clear up the middle, giving a framed view from the house down towards Whitby Abbey and the sea beyond. This area is something of a blank canvas and will appeal to people who want space, the whole plot extending to just over an acre. The views over open fields from the end of the woodland back towards the town are particularly impressive.

The Forge: On the northern boundary of the plot, set among trees, is a stonebuilt forge that was painstakingly relocated to the property and rebuilt, after being threatened with demolition where it was formerly located further along the village. This stone and pantile outbuilding surely has potential for further development, subject to planning.

Garage: Adjoining the house, the garage links onto the side corridor. There is a small separate boiler room at the rear, housing the oil central heating boiler.
