Characterful one-bedroom cottage with garden, minutes from village amenities and Whitby.
One double bedroom with exposed stone and original floorboards
This stone-built end-of-terrace cottage offers compact, characterful living in the popular village of Sleights, just a short drive from Whitby. The ground floor has a cosy lounge with exposed beams, an arched fireplace and a wood-burning stove, while the first floor provides a generous double bedroom and a bathroom with separate shower and roll-top bath. The cottage is well presented and retains many original features including York stone floors and stripped floorboards.
Externally the property benefits from a small, planted front garden and a sunny paved rear yard with raised bed — low-maintenance outdoor space for seating or container plants. The house is freehold, connected to mains services, in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and low flood risk, making it suitable as a primary home, a lock-up-and-leave second home, or a holiday-let investment.
Practical considerations: rooms are modest in size and ceiling heights are standard to low, reflecting the cottage’s period build. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, which may affect home-working, and the plot is small with limited scope to extend. While the property appears well maintained, its age and traditional construction mean periodic maintenance and sympathetic repairs may be needed over time.
Overall this cottage will appeal to buyers seeking character and village convenience close to Whitby — particularly first-time buyers, downsizers or buyers seeking a holiday let — who are comfortable with compact living and the upkeep typical of older properties.
