Fossil Cottage is a compact Grade II listed terraced cottage in Whitby’s Old Town, recently renovated while retaining original beams and exposed flooring. The living room’s woodburning stove and low-beamed ceilings create a cosy, characterful atmosphere ideal for a small household or a holiday base.
The property is freehold, with modern conveniences including double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating, and integrated kitchen appliances. Its central location places shops, a pub and the beach about 50 metres away and the Abbey and 199 Steps within easy walking distance — excellent for buyers who want to be at the heart of Whitby’s visitor area.
Important practical points: Grade II listed status means external and some internal alterations will be restricted and may require consent. The mid-terrace has very small plot size and rooms are compact with low ceilings; solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation. The immediate area records higher crime and economic deprivation metrics, which may affect resale or rental demand despite tourist footfall.
This home suits someone seeking period character and a central seaside location rather than a large family house or someone wanting straightforward modern extension potential. Newly renovated interiors reduce immediate maintenance, but long-term upkeep and listed-property responsibilities should be factored into any purchase decision.
