Summary - 18 THE CARRS, BRIGGSWATH, WHITBY YO21 1RR
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful two-bedroom cottage with rare riverside garden and refurbishment potential.
35m private garden with direct River Esk frontage
This former railway cottage offers classic period character with a rare 35-metre garden that runs down to the River Esk. The compact two-up, two-down layout and two double bedrooms make it a manageable home for buyers wanting character without excessive space to maintain. The riverside plot and potential to add a garage or off-street parking are standout practical benefits.
The interior retains original features such as a Victorian fireplace and decorative mouldings, and has modern comforts including gas central heating and double glazing. The open-plan kitchen/diner and cosy lounge create a straightforward, liveable layout, but the property is in need of refurbishment throughout to realise its full potential.
Practical considerations are important: the cottage has a medium flood risk given the riverside position and broadband speeds are reported as slow. The plot’s length and neighbouring garages show clear potential to create private parking, and landscaping the garden will significantly enhance enjoyment and value. This home suits someone seeking a characterful, downsized residence with scope to improve and personalise.
