PARTICULARS OF SALE
Set back off The Common, which runs through the centre of the village, Wheathill Cottage is a Grade II listed former farmhouse that has been extended in the past to now give spacious accommodation and enjoys many attractive and interesting features including exposed beams and stonework, traditional panelled doors and refurbished timber windows.
Goathland is an attractive moorland village, 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 long running 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.
The property is approached off The Common through a 6 bar gate to the gravel parking area and access to the garage.
