About Mitch House
Enter the house via the cobbled street into a comfortable reception and
lounge area. Here you can relax on the leather sofa's after your journey
to Whitby and begin to allow the character of the town wash away the cares
and worries of every day life with the next tide.
There is the TV if you desire or why not sit in the window and watch
the ever changing picture of the street outside. Upon the street you may
well find one of a few regular street entertainers; for instance a chap
sat playing his harp or one of the live statues. There will be folk passing
by going about their business oblivious to the fact you are just beginning
your holiday break as a new resident of this historical fishing town.
The first floor houses the main bedroom and adjoining bathroom there is
ample cupboard space within the original paneled wall. If you are tired
after your journey take a lie down and gaze up to the old beams in the
ceiling and ponder what secrets they hold from the last 250 years. Perhaps
you would like to freshen up and take a shower or soak in a hot bath whatever
you desire.
Climb the winding stairs to the second floor and find the newly fitted
kitchen and another lounge area. Why not make a hot drink and sit in the
window seats watching the street below or sit back on one of the sofa's
and relax
The third floor is the twin bedroom where large dormer window looks onto
the harbour at the back of the house and the "fish pier" below.
From here you also gain a birds eye view of the town and the west cliff
at the opposite side of the river Esk. Again the beams and floorboards
have been stripped back to their original state, this is a running feature
throughout the house. The timbers within the construction of the roof
are reclaimed 'ships timbers' which was the tradition in house building
at the time the house was built. You will note the purlins are round and
tapered and in fact were once ships masts.
The basement is presently closed off but will next season be opened up
to give a third bedroom which will have it's own en suite facilities.
