Set at the bottom of Robin Hood’s Bay, this stone-built cottage combines period character with practical extras ideal for an investor. The main house spans three floors with original fireplaces and sash windows, while a separate annexe with shower/WC and an under-street garage provide immediate income or let flexibility. The property sits within the North York Moors National Park and benefits from very low local crime and no flood risk.
Internally the rooms are compact but well-arranged: lounge with fireplace and integrated kitchenette, a generous first-floor double, attic bedroom with eaves storage, and a modernised bathroom with walk-in shower. The annexe opposite the cottage adds a self-contained, rentable space or useful guest accommodation. A 999-year lease (approx. 829 years remaining on the current documentation) gives long-term security for leasehold ownership.
Buyers should note the cottage’s age and construction: granite or whinstone walls likely have no internal insulation and may need thermal upgrade works to improve energy efficiency. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider for longer-term lets or remote working tenants. The immediate area shows higher deprivation levels, though village amenities and nearby schools provide community appeal.
This property will suit investors seeking a character coastal let with separate annexe and rare garage, or those looking to convert a charming village cottage into a profitable holiday or long-term rental. Some refurbishment and insulation investment will increase comfort and rental returns.
