Set within an iconic Victorian turreted building on Whitby’s West Cliff, this light and spacious split-level apartment offers c.800 sq ft of accommodation and direct sea views. Positioned on an upper floor with lift access, the home is presented in good decorative order, double-glazed and currently fitted with modern electric heating. The property is established as a successful holiday let and can be sold fully furnished, offering immediate rental income or a ready-made coastal bolt-hole.
Internally the layout works well for short-term stays or owners seeking a compact permanent home: a long entrance/dining hall leads to a well-proportioned lounge with tall windows and sea views, a galley kitchen with integrated appliances, and a ground-floor double bedroom with ensuite WC. A carpeted stair rises to the turret bedroom and a separate modern bathroom. Room proportions are typical for a period seafront block and the characterful high ceilings and sash-style windows are notable features.
Practical points to note: heating is by modern electric room heaters (higher running costs than gas), and the building’s solid brick construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. There is no private garden, and the apartment’s split-level plan means multiple flights of stairs within the flat. On the positive side the block includes lift access, on-site parking and low local crime; the location commands coastal views and strong holiday-let demand.
This property will suit investors seeking an operational holiday-let, buyers after a furnished seaside second home, or retirees wanting a characterful flat near amenities. It offers immediate letting potential but comes with the typical running considerations of a period building and electrically heated accommodation.
