Location
Upleatham is a picturesque village in the civil parish of Guisborough, within Redcar and Cleveland in North Yorkshire. It occupies an elevated position above nearby Kirkleatham—its name literally means “Upper Slope”—and lies close to Errington Woods and the scenic North York Moors. Upleatham dates back to the Domesday Book and was transformed by the discovery of an ironstone seam in the 19th century. Mining beneath the village from 1861 to 1924 caused subsidence that reshaped the settlement—most buildings now cluster around the cultural gem, the Old Church of St Andrew.
Ideal for purchasers seeking calm countryside living with a strong sense of history and community. Proximity to seaside town of Saltburn, Guisborough and the Moors puts scenic walks and local amenities within easy reach, while commodious gardens and stone architecture add timeless charm.
