Set within a handsome Georgian terrace on Whitby’s West Cliff, this two-bedroom top-floor flat offers generous rooms, high ceilings and tall sash windows that flood the living space with light. The property is part of a small block of four flats and occupies the top level, with attractive street views and distant sights of Whitby Abbey from the rear rooms.
Practical features include a functional, mid-20th-century kitchen with space for freestanding appliances, built-in wardrobes in the main bedroom and a separate shower room. Parking is available to the rear with two shared spaces for the block, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The long lease (961 years) and share of freehold give strong tenure security.
This flat suits a first-time buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking a well-proportioned period property close to town amenities and schools. Note: holiday letting is not permitted. The kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and buyers should expect cosmetic updates; the building sits in an area described as having constrained local aspiration and relatively high deprivation levels.
Practical positives include fast broadband, low crime and very cheap council tax, while negatives to weigh are the limited shared parking, the need for modernisation in places, and the local area’s socioeconomic challenges. Overall, this is a characterful, well-located apartment offering scope to personalise and add value.
