999-year lease from 2006 (long lease term)

This first-floor, one-bedroom seafront flat occupies a mid-terrace Victorian row on Whitby’s Esplanade, recently renovated to a high standard and offered chain free. The lounge features a V-shaped bay with sea views to the West Cliff, high ceilings, period cornicing and working shutters — character details that complement modern gas central heating and double-glazed sash windows.
The layout provides separate lounge and kitchen (uncommon in local conversions), a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a modern bathroom. The long 999-year lease offers security; the flat also benefits from an excellent C-rated EPC and mains services. Communal forecourt and a shared stair access reflect the building’s traditional arrangement.
Important practical points: the lease includes a restrictive covenant prohibiting holiday lettings and pets, so this property suits an owner-occupier or long-term let rather than short-term holiday income. Service/maintenance fees apply (amount to be confirmed) and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect winter heating despite recent improvements.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented seaside flat for someone seeking character and convenience close to Whitby’s West Cliff, harbour and town centre. Buyers advised to confirm current management costs and that the flat’s business-rates assessment/council-tax position suits their intentions; a survey is recommended to check the uninsulated wall construction and communal parts.
