This striking Victorian semi-detached house on Prospect Hill is a large, character-filled family home arranged over four floors. Retained period features — bay windows, fireplaces, original doors and plaster coving — give generous reception rooms and four king‑size bedrooms real presence. The property includes a stylish modern kitchen with utility and ground-floor WC, three en‑suites plus a luxurious house bathroom.
Practical selling points include a private south-facing garden with viaduct views, an off-street parking space (valuable in Whitby) and proximity to the town centre, train station and several well-rated primary schools. The layout suits multi-generational living and the house is already promoted as capable of generating significant holiday-let income (advertised at over £30k per year).
Important sale details and drawbacks: the property is being sold by auction via the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders must pay for a Buyer Information Pack (£349 inc. VAT) and, if successful, a non‑refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) in addition to the purchase price; completion is required within 56 days. The EPC is rated E, the plot is modest and the home spans four floors, which may be unsuitable for limited mobility. The wider area shows signs of deprivation despite low local crime rates.
An internal inspection is recommended to assess condition and mechanical services; buyers using a mortgage should confirm suitability with their lender before bidding. For families seeking a spacious period home near the coast, or investors targeting holiday-let returns, this property offers strong character and clear commercial potential alongside the auction-specific costs and commitments.
