Summary - STAITH COTTAGE CHAPEL STREET ROBIN HOODS BAY WHITBY YO22 4SQ
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful 2-bed, short walk to the dock — ready to move in with furniture included.
Grade II listed fisherman's cottage, period features throughout
Staithe Cottage is a compact, characterful Grade II listed fisherman's cottage tucked into the heart of Robin Hoods Bay, a short walk from the dock and beach. The house spans three floors and retains authentic period details including open beamed ceilings, original cast-iron fire grates and panelled doors. The sale includes furniture and appliances, so it can be occupied immediately or used as a ready-made holiday let.
Practical improvements have been made during the current ownership: the roof, plumbing and electrical systems were renewed within the last 30 years and double glazing is fitted. Heating is by electric night-storage radiators. The layout is snug — small rooms, low ceilings and narrow streets outside give strong historic character but limit large-scale reconfiguration without specialist listed‑building consent. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking a distinctive coastal pied-à-terre, a holiday‑let operator, or a first-time purchaser who values period charm and a village location close to amenities. Material considerations: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate works; it is leasehold on an ancient 1,000‑year Chomley lease (no regular charges reported); and some internal updating (kitchen and bathroom arrangements) would improve comfort and resale potential.
Practical positives include low council tax (Band B), no flood risk recorded, and very low local crime. However, the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood with limited local services beyond tourism, and the cottage’s compact proportions and historic layout will not suit buyers wanting contemporary open-plan living without permitted works and listed‑building approvals.
