About Property

Escape to the picturesque seaside town of Whitby and discover Topsail, a tastefully designed, historic home on the coast. Newly refurbished for Summer 2026, this top-floor apartment is the perfect sanctuary for couples seeking a romantic retreat or solo travellers wanting a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Built in 1760 and lovingly restored following guidance from Historic England, the home carries a deep legacy; it is named after William Scoresby Junior, the inventor of the Crows Nest and former owner of the property. The interior is designed to present a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Sleeping Arrangements & Layout Topsail features 1 bedroom with 1 luxurious king-size bed, 1 bathroom, and a guest capacity of 2. The bedroom is an inviting space characterized by exposed, sloping beams and skylight windows that flood the room with natural light—offering a potential view of the Aurora Borealis under the right conditions. For added convenience, the bedroom includes a sink, vanity, and a walk-in shower. A well-presented WC with a toilet and wash hand basin is located on the landing, along with ample space for hanging clothes and storing belongings.

The heart of the home is the charming open-plan kitchen and living room. The living area is outfitted with stylish décor, comfortable seating, and a television for unwinding. The well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for delicious meals or quick snacks, featuring an undercounter fridge with a small icebox top for frozen items.

Location & Neighborhood Situated on St Hilda’s Terrace in the sought-after West Cliff area of Whitby, the property is surrounded by historic Victorian architecture. The location is ideal for explorers, within walking distance of Whitby’s sandy beaches, the town centre, local cafés, restaurants, and the railway station.
