Summary - EIGHT BELLS HIGH BARRASS STAITHES SALTBURN-BY-THE-SEA TS13 5DE
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact character cottage near the coast, ready to move into.
Grade II listed Georgian stone cottage with historic character
A compact Grade II listed cottage tucked into lower Staithes, Eight Bells offers characterful period living across three floors. Exposed beams, sash windows and a Georgian stone façade give genuine heritage charm, while a bespoke kitchen and underfloor heating to the kitchen add modern comfort. The property is freehold and lies within the North York Moors National Park, close to the village coast and local amenities.
The layout includes an open-plan ground floor living area, a first-floor double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and airing cupboard housing a high-pressure hot water cylinder, plus a fully tiled shower room. A second double bedroom occupies the top floor with useful under-eaves cupboards. Heating is electric storage with off-peak economy provision; the top-floor heater and part of the water heating can be controlled by WiFi for convenience.
There are important practical points to note. The house is small (approximately 514 sq ft) with low ceilings in places and limited living space, so it suits buyers seeking a compact, character home rather than larger family accommodation. As a listed building, alterations and some repairs may require listed-building consent and could limit modernisation options. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the wider locality shows signs of economic deprivation, though local services and good primary schooling are available.
For a first-time buyer or someone seeking a maintained, characterful starter cottage by the sea, this is a keenly priced opportunity with immediate move-in potential. If you value period details, a tucked-away location and manageable running costs (very low council tax) — and accept the constraints of a listed, small-footprint home — Eight Bells is worth viewing.
