A compact Grade II listed former fisherman’s cottage, recently modernised while keeping many original features. Set a short walk from Whitby harbour, this three-bedroom, two-bath home occupies an elevated position with harbour and valley outlooks and a private paved yard. The property is presented as a ready-made holiday let or small buy-to-let opportunity, with drying rights in an adjacent garden and easy access to beaches, Abbey and town amenities.
Important practical points: the house is small (approximately 703 sq ft), built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no assumed wall insulation, and currently uses room heaters with dual fuel (mineral and wood). Its Grade II listed status and listing restrictions will complicate alterations and maintenance, and the immediate area records higher crime and relative deprivation, which may affect lettings or resale strategy.
Sold freehold via online auction (terms and conditions apply). The accommodation is arranged over two floors with two ground-floor bedrooms (one with original fireplace), a ground-floor bathroom, a separate utility/WC room with conversion potential, and a first-floor lounge/diner, third bedroom/study and modern galley kitchen. Council Tax Band B and no recorded flood risk are practical benefits for prospective buyers.
This is best suited to investors or buyers seeking a holiday bolt-hole who can work within listed-building constraints. The recent renovation reduces urgent repair needs, but listing, limited size and solid-wall construction mean further upgrades (insulation, heating improvements) could be needed and will require listed-building consent.
