Summary - THE COTTAGE, ST HILDAS GARDENS YO21 3AA
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Historic home ready for creative buyers, with garden and parking.
Detached late-18th-century stone cottage with period beams and fireplace
A late-18th-century detached stone cottage offering genuine character and practical potential in Whitby town centre. The open-plan living room with exposed beams and a fireplace creates a warm, characterful heart to the house, while a single-storey kitchen extension and a ground-floor wet room add everyday convenience. The property is freehold and spans approximately 886 sq ft across two floors.
This cottage requires full refurbishment and updating: windows and internal decor are dated, some modernisation is needed throughout, and the building would benefit from investment to improve energy efficiency. The current layout provides a straightforward renovation project for a first-time buyer seeking a long-term home or a small-scale investor aiming to add value.
Outside features include an enclosed garden with patio and off-street parking for two cars — a rare convenience in this central location. Practical local amenities, good broadband and strong mobile signal support modern living, while Whitby’s harbour, shops and coastal attractions are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived local area which may affect some services and resale factors. Positive aspects include low crime, nearby good primary schools and clear scope to create a comfortable, characterful home once renovated.
