Characterful three-bed tucked in the North York Moors, ideal for holiday or coastal living.
- Quaint Georgian stone cottage in Staithes village
High Winds is a compact, newly renovated three-bedroom stone cottage tucked into picturesque Staithes, within the North York Moors National Park. The sellers have retained original features — exposed stone walls, beams, sash windows and a feature fireplace with wood burner — while introducing a bespoke kitchen and an updated shower room. The open-plan living area feels welcoming and well arranged for coastal life.
Practical positives include fast broadband, a fully enclosed front yard for outdoor sitting, and no flood risk. The property’s 778 sq ft footprint spreads over three floors, offering a bright top-floor principal bedroom and versatile middle-floor space currently used as an office or storage.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: heating is by electric room heaters and mains fuel is electricity, the stone walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect running costs, and mobile signal is reported as none. The plot is very small and the building predates 1900, so ongoing maintenance and sensitive conservation-area considerations are likely.
This cottage will suit someone seeking quintessential seaside character — ideal as a holiday home, a lifestyle move into a village setting, or a lettable coastal asset. Viewers should check tenure, local conservation rules and heating cost expectations before proceeding.
