Hampdon Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage a short walk from Staithes beach and village amenities. Set over four floors and offering c.907 sq ft, the house combines original features — exposed beams, sash windows and stripped wooden floors — with modern kitchen fittings and plentiful natural light.
The property includes a useful outhouse formerly a coal/wash house, currently trading as a small shop, easily converted to a workshop, studio or additional storage. Its location on the Heritage Coast and proximity to the North York Moors make it attractive as a holiday let, artist’s retreat or a seaside family home.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building is of solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy performance and running costs may be higher than modern homes. Mobile signal is reported as none and the surrounding area is relatively deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand.
The house has one family bathroom serving three bedrooms and multiple floors and stairs, which may be inconvenient for some buyers. Tenure and council tax details are not confirmed and should be checked. Overall, this is a scenic, character-rich property with strong short-term holiday let appeal and scope for energy upgrades or cosmetic modernisation to add value.
