Quirky two‑bed coastal cottage ideal for holiday income or compact permanent living.
Characterful stone cottage with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams
Tucked into Staithes Beckside, this stone cottage packs period character into a compact two‑bed layout. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove create a warm, appealing interior; the lounge’s glazed doors open onto a cobbled terrace with direct views over the Beckside. The open-plan kitchen/snug has bespoke cabinetry and solid Iroko worktops, and the property is offered as a successful holiday let — available fully furnished for immediate income.
Practical comforts include modern electric heating and double glazing throughout, making the cottage straightforward to run year-round. The accommodation is efficiently arranged across two levels with two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom, suiting a couple, small family or holiday-let portfolio. Its location inside the North York Moors National Park and close to the harbour underpins strong visitor demand.
Be frank about limitations: the internal footprint is small (approximately 532 sq ft) and there’s little or no private garden. Mobile signal is reported as none and the property sits in a medium flood‑risk zone — both relevant to longer-term owners or full-time residents. The surrounding area shows signs of local deprivation, and the tightly packed terrace setting means limited external space and privacy.
For an investor or buyer seeking a character coastal bolt‑hole, this cottage offers immediate letting potential and low maintenance heating. For a permanent home, accept compact living, possible flood-related insurance or planning considerations, and restricted external amenity. The Boiling House rewards buyers who prioritise location, character and turnkey rental income over generous living space.
