Description:

Fairhaven is the perfect country guest house from which to enjoy the delights of the North York Moors National Park. Beautifully refurbished, this lovely property has a variety of individually decorated letting bedrooms, attractive guest lounge and dining room, fine views, private car park and delightful garden. For owners, there is generous, private living accommodation allowing the marvellous benefit of earning high profits from a lifestyle operation, whilst living in a beautiful part of the world.

Location:

The village is on the North York Moors Railway Pickering to Whitby line, with a delightfully evocative steam railway station. Goathland, (famous for being the filming location for the classic TV program “Heartbeat”) and the surrounding area boast hundreds of walking and cycling routes through wonderful scenery, and the bustling towns of Pickering, Whitby and Scarborough attract visitors year round. Castle Howard, numerous National Trust and English Heritage properties and the historic and popular city of York are all within an hour’s drive.

Property:

Fairhaven is a strikingly prominent detached property with a lovely symmetry to the front façade with open covered porch set between two bay windows. Accommodation is arranged on ground, first and second floors and throughout there are stunning original features from the Edwardian ‘Arts and Crafts’ period.

Public Areas:

The main entrance is from the front of the property via the porch and an impressive, enclosed lobby with original stained glass door and windows, mosaic floor and part tiled walls. This leads into the reception hall with original pitch-pine open staircase, and through to the guest reception area with W/C facilities and semi-commercial laundry, which is within the owner’s accommodation area and can be “locked off” from the main guest areas.

To the right of the reception hall is the large yet cosy guest lounge, a marvellously impressive room with open fire and large bay window for around 20 guests. To the left of the hall is the dining room, usually laid for around 16 guests, and again with a bay window. Both the lounge and dining room provide beautiful panoramic views over the village and countryside.

Letting Bedrooms:

The property benefits from nine letting bedrooms; one superior double, one superior super king/twin, one standard super king/twin, two standard singles, three standard doubles and one standard family (double and single). Eight of the bedrooms are en suite (two have bath/shower over, the rest having a shower cubicle) with one of the single bedrooms having it’s own private bathroom located close by. All the bedrooms benefit from flat-screen TVs with Fire Sticks and drinks facilities.
