Characterful 2-bed cottage in gated yard, chain-free and ready for holiday or let.
Private gated yard in central Staithes
Set in a gated yard in the heart of Staithes, this two-bedroom terraced cottage sits within the North York Moors National Park and offers a genuine seaside character. The house is arranged over three floors, feels light and airy and centres on a large lounge/diner with a multi-fuel burner. A split-level kitchen includes modern units and integral appliances, making the ground floor immediately useable.
Practical extras add real value: two front outhouses are fitted with electricity and plumbing (one retains a working original toilet), providing useful storage or potential conversion subject to consents. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, making it straightforward for a quick purchase. At about 795 sq ft, it works well as a holiday home, rental investment or a compact permanent residence for those who value village life by the sea.
Buyers should note a few limitations: the location has no mobile signal and only average broadband speeds, and the wider area shows signs of deprivation. The house is terraced and multi-storey, so it may not suit anyone with limited mobility. The exterior shows weathered, traditional finishes which may require routine maintenance to preserve character.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located cottage with immediate usability and clear income potential, best suited to buyers seeking a coastal retreat, holiday-let opportunity or a small seaside home who are comfortable with limited digital connectivity and some ongoing upkeep.
