Or Red House Farm, 150 acres situated at the side of Whitby Road quite close to Staithes at the junction of Cowbar Lane. Described as having 5 bedrooms, 2 attics, bathroom, 2 sitting rooms, kitchen with range, scullery with sink, pantry, wash house with copper. Water from the three crosses well supply. Rent on Ladyday tenancy £137-13s-0p per annum. Estate makes an allowance off the rent of this farm for aerial standards (at one time used by Boulby Mine) which crossed the land. Not all the mod. cons of today, but all you would expect in 1946 when this farm was for sale in the dispersal sale catalogue for the Grinkle estate.
