White Lodge

White Lodge offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique, secluded period home with extensive private gardens, grounds and enchanting woodland in a stunning coastal location. This characterful property, dating back to 1906, would be ideal as a holiday/second home or an impressive principal family residence. Clearly loved by the current owners, White Lodge is immaculately presented inside and out and has been in their ownership for two decades.

The charming family accommodation, which extends to over 3,000 square feet, briefly comprises a welcoming reception hall, spacious living room with large bay window and period fireplace flanked by Arts and Crafts style bench seating, dining kitchen with bespoke Shaker-style fitted cabinetry, Aga and views over the gardens and coastline beyond, cosy dual aspect sitting room with open fire and direct access to the gardens, separate utility room with adjoining shower room and w/c.

The superb ground floor is completed by a large garden room with bi-folding doors to three sides, underfloor heating and a wood burning stove - an ideal space for entertaining and alfresco dining on the wrap-around terrace outside.

To the first floor the generous landing provides access to five double bedrooms, all with delightful views towards woodland, open countryside or the sea. Two house bathrooms, one with a bath and shower, service the bedrooms on this floor. A separate staircase leads to an attractive attic room with eaves storage, currently utilised as a sixth bedroom.

White Lodge occupies an idyllic private position with stunning far-reaching views towards the sea. The generous plot extends to over 3 acres in total, with a superb principal lawned garden area facing the coastline in addition to a further enclosed garden area to the opposite side of the house. There is a large sheltered terrace to the rear of the property, a particularly private area within the grounds. Running alongside the western boundary of the gardens is a substantial area of ancient and picturesque woodland, owned by White Lodge, leading down to a beck and teeming with a fascinating array of wildlife, including badgers and deer. Double gates from the lane beside the house reveal a sizeable parking and turning area for numerous vehicles in front of a detached garage.

White Lodge is moments away from Boggle Hole, one of the Yorkshire Coast's little known, hidden gems. This small cove with uniquely curved-out hollows is just a short walk along the beach from the bustling fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, with its restaurants, bars, cafes, village shop, post office and schooling. At the other side of the bay, the quiet and rugged Ravenscar beach, renowned for its seal colonies, is easily reached on foot.

A wide variety of delightful rural and coastal footpaths and cycle tracks, including the Cleveland Way and the old railway line Cinder Track, which runs from Whitby to Scarborough, are all within a short walking distance.

The property is also close to the A171 with the thriving town of Whitby a short drive away. In the opposite direction, Scarborough is just 14 miles away offering train links with York and beyond.
