Set on Front Street in the picturesque village of Normanby-by-Spital, Beehive House is a substantial Grade II listed cottage dating from 1797. The building’s origins as two separate dwellings create flexible accommodation: four double bedrooms, four reception rooms, two bathrooms and a layout that easily supports separate living wings or holiday-let use. A large oak barn, extensive off-street parking and a generous south-facing garden complete the plot.
This home brings genuine period character — stone walls, original pantry/half-cellar, chimney features and a host of historic details — paired with roomy, practical living. The generous 2,428 sq ft internal area and approximately 12 rooms suit a growing family or a purchaser seeking an income stream from part-rented accommodation.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will complicate alterations and require listed-building consents for many changes. There are only two bathrooms for four bedrooms, broadband and mobile signal are average, and upkeep of an older property should be expected. On the positive side the sale is freehold and chain-free, with no flood risk and easy access to a primary school, pub and village shop.
Viewings are recommended for those who value character, generous outdoor space and versatile accommodation, and who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities or renovation work to realise the property’s full potential.
