Townhouse Columbus Ravine, Scarborough, Yorkshire

The Townhouse on Columbus Ravine is situated in a prime position in Scarborough just a 5 minute walk from the north bay beach.

The house has been lovingly restored and is set over 3 floors, with 3 bedrooms on each of the 2 top floors. On the top floor are 2 twins and 1 double, and the 1st floor has 2 doubles and a twin. All have en suites and smart TVs. On the ground floor is an open plan lounge, dining and kitchen with wooden floor and a dining area to seat 12. The icing on the cake is the hot tub.

The town and shops are only 10 minutes walk away and for those who prefer the nightlife there are plenty of bars, restaurants, clubs and a casino. Just around the corner is the Scarborough cricket ground where the famous Scarborough Festival is held each year. For those who love a faster sport, there’s Oliver’s Mount racing track with high powered road race bikes. As you walk to the beach you pass Peasholm Park which is famous for the Naval Warfare Battle re-enactment on its beautiful boating lake.

Scarborough has two bays.The south bay is a traditional seaside resort with donkeys, amusements and shops, whereas the north bay is much quieter and more relaxed. Halfway between the two bays, the castle stands proud on the cliffs above. You can walk the full length of Marine Drive from north to south bay and it’s nice and flat making it easy for that evening stroll. Alternatively, there are open top buses that run along the seafront. At the far end of north bay is the Sealife Centre and the open air theatre, the largest outdoor theatre in Europe where international acts play during the summer.

Further down the coast are Filey, Flamborough and Bridlington. The RSPB bird sanctuary at Bempton is worth a visit where you can see puffins in their natural habitat. North of Scarborough is the beautiful North York Moors and Whitby. For the more adventurous there is Dalby Forest and Go Ape. You are only an hour away from York, and there are many stately homes in the area including Castle Howard.

This house is ideal as a family holiday home or group get together house for a luxurious break with a hot tub and only a few minutes walk to the beach.
