About this property

This immaculate semi-detached property is located in the quiet village of Sleights and is easily accessed from the main road, less than four miles from Whitby and the North Yorkshire coast. This family and pet-friendly cottage is ideal for group gatherings of up to six people wanting to explore the best of North Yorkshire, due to its excellent proximity to both the North Yorkshire coast and the North York Moors National Park. Access Dale View via a huge gravel driveway, which provides off-road parking for up to five cars, and enter the property into the spacious hallway, which has coat hooks and storage for boots, as well as office space, should you have any loose ends to tie up. From here, you'll find the living/dining room, where two sofas are cosily placed around the Smart TV, ideal for relaxing and enjoying your favourite shows at the end of a busy day, while the dining table has seating for six and is the perfect place to gather together for home-cooked meals and to plan the upcoming day's adventures. The stand-out feature of this room is the stunning double-sided multi-fuel stove, which is also accessible from the snug, alongside a selection of books and two welcoming armchairs, a great spot to relax and enjoy a good novel whilst staying warm and toasty. The generously-sized kitchen has stunning high ceilings and skylights, flooding the room with light, along with an island complete with breakfast bar seating for two and all of the necessary appliances and amenities for your self-catered stay. There is a utility room with a washing machine and dryer, along with a walk-in shower and WC, so you can get ready for your day with a rejuvenating rinse. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms; two super-king-size with zip/link which can be made into twins on request, along with a king-size and a double, each one with ample storage space and views of either the garden or the surrounding countryside. Outside there is a shed with secure bike storage and an enclosed patio and lawned garden, providing a safe space for little ones and pets to play freely. The small village of Sleights has a pub, fish and chip shop, a butcher's, bakery, café, post office and convenience store, taking care of all of your needs. The seaside resort of Whitby is less than four miles away, at the mouth of the River Esk, home to hidden alleys and winding streets, a picturesque harbour, stunning sandy beach, a lighthouse and a host of attractions, including its abbey and famous 199 steps, which offer picturesque coastal views from the top, and take a guided tour to learn more about the history of the town. Scarborough is slightly further afield, with its two sandy beaches, separated by its 12th century castle, along with Peasholm Park, a spectacular Japanese landscaped park, Aplamare UK, an exhilarating water park, a SEA LIFE centre and the North Bay Heritage Railway. Dale View is also in close proximity to the North York Moors National Park, offering an abundance of walking and cycling opportunities and varied landscapes ranging from vast moorland to wooded river valleys, quaint villages to dramatic coastline. Dale View is an ideal base from which to explore the coast and countryside of North Yorkshire.

Sleights is ideal for both a coastal and country holiday. Just 4 miles from the picturesque Yorkshire coastline, it is also on the edge of the dramatic North Yorkshire moors country, littered with attractive villages and scenery, which is very popular with walkers and cyclists. Though quiet, Sleights boasts a pub, a fish and chip shop, an antique shop (with cafe), a butcher's, a bakery, a hairdressers, a cafe and a Post Office within a Spar shop. The North Yorkshire Steam Railway terminus is a few minutes’ drive, together with regular public transport to and from the nearby port of Whitby. Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire. It is an atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and, of course, the abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.
