Set on the ground floor of an attractive Victorian brick building on Church Square, this two-bedroom flat puts Whitby’s harbour, shops and seafront on your doorstep. The living room benefits from high ceilings and a large sash-style window that floods the room with light; overall space is well-proportioned for central-town living. The long lease (992 years) and modest service charge make ownership straightforward for buy-to-let or holiday-let use.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime, and a very low council tax band. The property’s solid brick construction and older double glazing retain period character but mean thermal upgrades (wall insulation, window replacement) could deliver better comfort and reduce bills. No garden or private outdoor space is included.
The flat is well suited to landlords seeking a central Whitby rental, or buyers wanting a compact permanent home with tourist appeal. The immediate location commands steady footfall from visitors and benefits from local amenities, schools, and transport links. Note the wider area has higher deprivation and constrained local incomes, which may influence long-term rental yields and tenant profiles.
Accommodation is ready to occupy and requires only modernising where desired; any investor should allow for possible cosmetic updates and potential thermal-improvement costs. Overall, this is a rare chance to secure a centrally positioned, long-lease period flat in Whitby’s historic square.
