Look inside £1.45m home in rural village of Goathland

A distinctive Arts and Crafts home which occupies a south-facing position on the edge of the North York Moors National Park village of Goathland, The Beacon has been completely transformed from a near derelict state into a stylish and spacious character property.

Today it operates as a high-end holiday home – more of that later – but it could equally be used as a spacious family home.

It comes together with a separate newly refurbished two-bedroom cottage, Beacon Lodge, which could be used as a holiday let, guest accommodation, a granny flat or even as the main family home should the buyer wish to continue letting the main house. See what I mean about choices?

In all the house encompasses 3,897sq.ft of accommodation which has been carefully restored with great attention to detail, focusing on the heritage of the property and ensuring a number of handsome original features were retained at the same time as putting a more modern spin on the living space and its finishings.

Feature fireplaces, ceiling beams, roll top and slipper baths, square bay windows, leaded windows and oak panelled walls and ceilings – in the entrance hall, sitting room, dining room and some of the bedrooms – add to the charm of the property.

The Beacon and Beacon Lodge are situated three miles from Whitby and just a short walk from the well-known Mallayan Spout Waterfall. They are on the edge of the village of Goathland, perhaps best known as the location for the popular television drama Heartbeat. In fact, The Beacon was used as a filming location for a number of episodes.

The steam railway calls in at Goathland station, which is famous worldwide as Hogsmeade Station in the Harry Potter films.

A raised stone terrace faces south and benefits from an open aspect and attractive views across the moors.
