Turnkey seaside investment with period charm and transparent finances.
Established short‑let business with current and future bookings
Set in the heart of Staithes and recently upgraded throughout, this traditional stone cottage offers an established short‑let business with current and future bookings and transparent financial records. The owners have refurbished and maintained the property to a high standard, preserving period features such as exposed beams and stonework while delivering a practical, modern interior. Its location inside the North York Moors National Park and close to the coastline gives clear tourism appeal for holiday guests.
Internally the layout is compact and efficient: three bedrooms, one bathroom and roughly 1,001 sq ft across two storeys, with rustic detailing in the kitchen and traditional sash/windows that reinforce the cottage’s character. The plot is small and the house is terraced, so outdoor space and private garden area are limited. Broadband and mobile signal are average; the building sits in an area classified as deprived and serving an ageing local population.
This is best suited to a buyer seeking a turn‑key holiday let or investment with immediate income, and to someone who values seaside character over expansive living space. Notable constraints are the single bathroom, modest room sizes, and limited external space — factors that affect longer‑term full‑time family use. Freehold tenure and no flood risk are practical positives for buyers looking for stability and straightforward ownership.
