Atcot House is a compact, Grade II listed Georgian cottage tucked into a communal yard in the heart of Staithes. The property offers immediate coastal village living with exposed stone, beams and a stone fireplace housing a multi‑fuel stove — character features that appeal to buyers seeking authenticity and holiday‑let income potential. Its small footprint and cosy rooms suit a buyer who values location and charm over modern open‑plan space.
The cottage is chain‑free and has been used as a holiday let, so it could suit an investor wanting ready occupancy or a buyer seeking a weekend bolt‑hole. Practicalities are straightforward: mains water, electricity and drainage are connected and the living space includes an open plan sitting room and kitchen, compact bathroom, two first‑floor bedrooms and a larger attic bedroom. Communal yard storage is handy for seaside equipment.
Important constraining factors are factual and significant. As a Grade II listed building in a conservation area, external and many internal alterations will require listed‑building consent and could limit refurbishment options. Heating is by electric heaters plus the stove; walls are likely uninsulated stone which affects running costs and comfort. There is no mobile signal on site and parking is on‑street only. The property is small (c.478 sq ft) and would suit buyers who prioritise location and character rather than generous living space.
Prospective purchasers should note the current business rating for holiday letting and check taxation and planning implications. A pre‑purchase survey is recommended to confirm condition and any maintenance needs typical of pre‑1900 stone cottages. For someone wanting a compact, characterful home or a village holiday investment in the North York Moors National Park, Atcot House offers rare location and charm — with listed‑building constraints and modest accommodation to match.
