Union Place is a beautiful 18th-century Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse which ,alongside 7 and 11 Upgang Lane, was known as Union Place after the Union Mill. Number 9 was rebuilt in 1790 and alongside number 11 was in splendid isolation. Formal access would be as today from Upgang Lane with carriages moving around to the Coach House accessed from the south on Spring Vale.

Within the building there is ornate Adam Georgian plasterwork and cornices. The beautifully restored Georgian main reception room features a large bay window that fills the room with natural light, complemented by a listed Georgian fire surround and overmantel. An elegant staircase that leads you to the first floor bedrooms; to the south there are sweeping views of the North York Moors that stretch beyond the formal garden below. This room features Georgian architectural details and a stunning marble Regency fireplace. To the north, the second bedroom faces towards the North Sea and boasts Georgian proportions and features a captivating 19th-century Chinese Wedding Cabinet as its centrepiece. The lower and top floor where the servants resided are much more plan and utility design.

The burning question is, though… did Lord Byron stay here?

Union Place is located at 7 Upgang Lane and will be open to the public 10.45 to 15.45
