Set in a small harbourside development a short, level walk from Whitby town centre, this well-presented two-bedroom cottage combines compact, traditional charm with rare practical benefits — notably a garage and a parking space nearby. The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room with double doors to a west-facing patio, and two double bedrooms served by a shower room. The property is double glazed and gas centrally heated, ready for immediate occupation as a holiday home, second home or a first purchase.
Outside space is modest but usable: a paved patio off the living room catches evening sun and the scheme’s communal courtyard provides low-maintenance surroundings. The single garage (with parking in front) adds significant local value, though the garage itself sits on a long lease with a flat above as freeholder — the parking space in front is owned freehold. The development is managed with a modest communal contribution of £125 due twice yearly.
Buyers should note material local factors plainly: the wider area is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels and hampered aspiration indicators. The cottage is compact (approximately 692 sq ft) and on a small plot, so it suits buyers seeking proximity to the harbour and town amenities rather than extensive outdoor space. There is one shower room only and potential purchasers should verify service condition (boiler and electrics) via survey. Chain-free freehold sale and affordable council tax band C are practical positives.
