Occupying a prominent Westcliff position, this Victorian semi-detached villa is offered as an established seven-bedroom guest house with a separate owners’ suite. Period proportions—high ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces—combine with practical upgrades such as double glazing and gas central heating to deliver comfortable, characterful accommodation across approximately 2,400 sq ft.
The current trading layout comprises five letting rooms (four double en-suite, one single), a guest breakfast room with bay window and fireplace, owners’ lounge and a top-floor owners’ suite. A sizeable fitted kitchen, pantry and utility space support a straightforward B&B operation. Externally there is a south-facing front garden and off-street parking for up to three cars—useful assets in this coastal location.
This property suits an investor or owner-operator seeking an income-generating lifestyle business in Whitby’s tourist market, or a buyer wanting to convert back to a large private residence (subject to any consents). The house appears well maintained with modern bathrooms, but there is scope for modest refurbishment or redecoration to increase rates and yield.
Material considerations: the surrounding area is classed as deprived and the wider classification indicates ageing urban communities, which may affect long-term local demand beyond tourism. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. No flooding risk is recorded. Prospective buyers should verify trading figures, statutory permissions for holiday letting and running costs before purchase.
