Summary - 9, SANDGATE YO22 4DB
3 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
500 sqft retail plus three-bed apartment with rear waterside yard and cellar.
Grade II listed mixed-use freehold building
A rare Grade II listed mixed-use freehold in the heart of Whitby’s busy Sandgate trading street, combining 500 sq ft of ground-floor retail with a separate three-bedroom apartment above. The retail frontage benefits from a large display window and consistent footfall, making it well suited to independent retail or hospitality concepts that capitalise on passing trade and nearby tourist attractions.
Below the shop is a substantial cellar with the original tiled cold store—an atmospheric, practical space ideal for storage or creative reuse. To the rear is a small harbourside yard with waterside views, offering a private outdoor space that is uncommon for town-centre properties and adds tangible lifestyle and lettable appeal.
The building requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout and has Grade II listed status, which will restrict alterations and may add cost and time to restoration works. Roof and windows have been replaced to comply with listing requirements, but the property otherwise presents a blank canvas for restoration or repositioning as an owner-occupier business plus residence, or as an investor seeking long-term uplift.
Located in a deprived area with high local crime statistics and constrained rental market characteristics, buyers should factor in ongoing management, security and marketing to realise trade potential. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Flood risk is low. The property is being sold freehold and offers an opportunity to create a distinctive harbourside business/residential combination in a prime tourist quarter.
