Set in an iconic Tudor‑Revival seafront townhouse on The Parade, this large one‑bed apartment offers sweeping sea views and strong holiday‑let potential. The second‑floor sitting room is predominantly glazed to maximise coastal outlooks; the adjoining kitchen has integrated appliances and a breakfast spot. A generous double bedroom with en‑suite and rear access to a sunny shared courtyard add practical comfort for short breaks or a permanent bolt‑hole.
The property is a leasehold with 977 years remaining and an annual service charge of £1,800. Holiday letting is permitted, and the apartment is being sold at auction — features that will suit investors or buyers seeking a seaside retreat with immediate rental prospects. The flat measures about 680 sq ft, unusually spacious for a one‑bed in the village.
Important practical points: the building is timber‑framed and assumed uninsulated, heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas or central heating), and glazing is secondary. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and mobile signal is average. These factors affect running costs and year‑round comfort, and some buyers may want to budget for insulation or heating upgrades.
Location strengths include a low flood and crime risk, village amenities on the doorstep (cafés, slipway, shops) and quick visual access to Whitby along the coast. Schools in the wider area include several small primary schools rated Good or Outstanding and a nearby secondary school rated Requires Improvement. The sale is suitable for investors, holiday‑let operators, or buyers wanting a characterful seaside home who accept the need for possible retrofit work.
