Set on Love Lane opposite Whitby Rugby Club, this four-bedroom detached house combines immediate family comfort with clear potential for enlargement. The principal bedroom enjoys a private balcony with sea views, while the open-plan kitchen/diner opens onto a large west-facing garden and stone terrace — ideal for evening sun and family entertaining.
Practical living is well served: a bay-fronted lounge with living-flame stove, downstairs shower room and utility, integral garage, and parking for four cars. The home is double-glazed, gas-heated and offered freehold, so day-to-day running is straightforward for a busy household.
A major value driver is the granted full planning permission for a wrap-around extension and separate garden room (ZF25/00302/HS), allowing buyers to significantly increase living space. That opportunity suits growing families or buyers wanting to add long-term value, though the extension will require budget, project management and planning compliance.
Considerations: the property faces a sports ground, which can bring occasional match-day noise and extra local parking. The nearby state secondary (Caedmon College Whitby) is currently rated as requiring improvement, which may matter to families prioritising catchment school performance. Overall, this is a well-appointed, versatile family home in a desirable Whitby location with strong expansion potential.
