Summary - RED LEA, BEACON WAY, WHITBY, SNEATON YO22 5HS
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious two-bedroom bungalow with garage and large low-maintenance garden.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on large plot within North York Moors National Park
Set on a generous plot within the North York Moors National Park, Red Lea is a spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow that will suit buyers seeking single-level, low-fuss living in a village setting. The stone-built exterior and pan-tiled roof give the house period charm while large windows provide generous natural light to the lounge and dining room. A sizeable rear garden and attached garage add practical outdoor and parking space.
Internally the layout is straightforward and comfortable: two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a large lounge with a slate fireplace, a separate dining room and a compact kitchen. The bathroom is modern and includes a four-piece suite. The property has double-glazing throughout and benefits from oil-fired central heating with the oil tank sited in the rear garden. There is also mention of electric storage heating, so buyers should check the current heating setup and running costs.
Opportunities include simple reconfiguration to create an open-plan kitchen/diner by removing the dividing wall to the dining room, and the plot offers potential to extend to the rear subject to planning permission. The stone walls are described as original (likely sandstone/limestone) and assumed to lack insulation — prospective buyers may want to budget for wall insulation or energy-efficiency improvements.
This bungalow will appeal to downsizers or those wanting a peaceful rural base close to Whitby’s coast. Its size (about 1,212 sq ft), low-maintenance garden and single-storey layout are immediately practical; just be aware of heating fuel arrangements, potential retrofit insulation work and that any rear extension would require planning consent.
