This three-bedroom stone cottage on Southgate offers genuine period character and a tucked-away rear garden, all within easy walking distance of Hornsea town centre, shops and seafront attractions. The property is chain free and has mains gas central heating, most double glazing, and an Energy Rating of D — practical comforts alongside traditional features.
Rooms are arranged over two floors with a generous lounge, practical kitchen, and a large shower room. Low ceilings and exposed beams add rustic charm but limit headroom in parts; room sizes are generally average to small. The rear garden is enclosed with mature planting and an ornamental well, accessed via an archway that keeps the cottage feeling private despite its town-centre location.
The cottage retains many period details — stone fireplace, beamed ceilings and a traditional layout — but some interiors are dated and present clear scope for updating. The property will particularly suit buyers seeking character and renovation potential rather than those looking for a fully modernised home. There is no flood risk, tenure is freehold and council tax band is A, which helps running costs.
Location is a strong selling point: Hornsea offers primary and secondary schooling rated Good, leisure facilities, the beach and shopping at Hornsea Freeport, with Hull and Beverley within reasonable driving distance. Note the local area shows higher-than-average crime rates and some economic deprivation; purchasers should consider these local factors alongside the cottage's positives.
