Sunnyvale Cottage is a delightful 250 year old mews cottage nestled in the heart of the old village on the Bolts; a quiet south facing ginnel handily located for local amenities and beach and easily accessed by vehicles.
Built in the late 1700s and steeped in sea lore, Sunnyvale has been home to some of the Bay’s most famous seafaring names. These include the aptly named Storm family and William Todd Anderson, skipper of 'The Visitor', famously wrecked off the Bay in 1881 and saved in one of the most dramatic and courageous lifeboat rescues in local history.
Even the Bolts has its own unique interest, so named because it was the principle escape route for smugglers fleeing Customs and Excise officers and local lads avoiding the marauding Press Gang.
Today Sunnyvale Cottage provides a tranquil bolt hole and perfect holiday base for exploring the coast and North Yorkshire Moors. The property is typical of the Bay displaying many original features including shipboard paneling, stone feature walls and cosy corners.
The Cottage comfortably sleeps six in three bedrooms with a separate and substantial dining kitchen annex set in its own south facing a patio garden overlooking Kings Beck and woodlands (perfect for b-b-q). Within the kitchen annex is a separate utility room with washing machine, airing and ironing facilities. Other outstanding facilities include:
• Spacious living room with log-burning stove, exposed paneling, stone walls and beams and cosy snug. Facilities include TV & DVD.
• Master bedroom with king-size four-poster bed and fitted cupboards. Second-floor bedroom with double brass bed, fitted wardrobe and drawers plus second-floor twin bedroom and wardrobe.
• New fitted bathroom with bath and power shower, washbasin/vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail.
• Gas fired central heating providing constant hot water, electricity, bedding and bed linen are all included in the price.
