Newly renovated two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, turn-key condition
Cosy lounge with log burner and double glazing throughout
Mains gas boiler and radiators; excellent mobile signal
Spectacular rural and sea views from both bedrooms
Very small overall size (≈575 sq ft) and low ceilings in places
Very small enclosed yard only; no substantial garden
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential energy inefficiency

This compact Victorian mid-terrace has been sympathetically updated into a turn-key two-bedroom cottage, offering contemporary comforts in a coastal village setting. The accommodation includes a shaker-style kitchen/diner, cosy lounge with log burner, conservatory and bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. Both bedrooms benefit from rural and sea views.
Practical positives include gas central heating, double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators, freehold tenure and very low council tax. The property sits within the North York Moors National Park and is close to Staithes, Runswick Bay and Whitby — strong location appeal for first-time buyers or a holiday base.
Buyers should note the house is small (approximately 575 sq ft) with low ceilings in parts and a very small enclosed yard rather than a garden. The solid brick walls are understood to have no added insulation, so heating costs and thermal comfort may be impacted despite the upgraded heating. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect long-term resale values.
Overall this cottage suits a buyer seeking an affordable coastal starter home or a holiday-let/second-home opportunity who accepts compact rooms and ongoing maintenance typical of pre-1900 properties.
