Summary - 3 Horners Terrace YO22 4EJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Well-presented Victorian terrace with superb harbour views — ideal first home near Whitby harbourside.
Superb full-length harbour views from top-floor bedrooms
This compact mid-terrace cottage sits steps from Whitby’s harbourside and has been tastefully updated to provide a comfortable, low-maintenance home. The top floor delivers spectacular full‑length harbour views and glimpses of the steam railway and St Mary’s, a rare feature for a property at this price point. Recent upgrades include a new combi boiler and double glazing (post-2002), making the home warm and efficient to run.
Internally the layout is flexible: currently arranged as two bedrooms with two reception rooms, the front reception could be used as a third bedroom if needed. Rooms are modest in size and retain period character, making the house well suited to a first-time buyer or couple wanting a town-centre base close to shops, pubs and the harbour. On-street parking and a very small rear garden/covered porch provide practical outside space in this central location.
There are some important practical points to note. The plot is very small and the property is mid-terrace, so outdoor space and privacy are limited. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating loss unless upgraded. Spiral stairs and narrow rooms suit buyers comfortable with older layouts rather than those needing level, accessible living. The property lies in an area classed as very deprived, which may influence local services and resale considerations.
Overall, 3 Horners Terrace offers an affordable, well-presented harbour cottage with outstanding views and flexible accommodation. It’s a strong option for a first-time buyer or anyone seeking a comfortable seaside base who accepts compact rooms, on-street parking and the limitations of a terraced, older property.
