Characterful two-bedroom cottage moments from Whitby town centre — newly renovated kitchen, ideal for first buyers or holiday-let..
Two double bedrooms including attic room
A compact, characterful two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage tucked into a cobbled square just steps from Whitby’s shops, pubs and harbour. The house retains many original features — wood panelling, exposed beams and an inglenook with a gas stove — giving immediate period charm alongside a newly fitted shaker-style kitchen in sage green.
The ground floor is open-plan and benefits from electric underfloor heating beneath the new kitchen and living area; upstairs is a generous double plus a bathroom with a double shower, and a further double occupies the attic level. At 668 sq ft the layout is efficient and works well for a small family, first-time buyer or as a continuing holiday-let/second-home income opportunity. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and local bus, rail and taxi links are close by.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, main heating is electric storage heaters and glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing. Ceiling heights are modest in places and the frontage and external yard are small — the address favours community and central convenience over garden privacy. The area shows deprivation indicators despite low crime rates, so check local services and long-term rental demand if buying to let.
Overall this cottage offers immediate move-in appeal with tasteful recent updates and strong location advantages, but it also carries typical upkeep and energy-efficiency compromises of a pre-1900 mid-terrace. Early viewing recommended to appreciate the layout and character in person.
