Summary - BECKFOOT COTTAGE, HIGH STREET, SALTBURN-BY-THE-SEA, STAITHES TS13 5BH
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact Georgian renovation with roof terrace and instant coastal appeal.
Three double bedrooms with excellent sea and harbour views
Beckfoot Cottage is a compact, characterful Georgian terraced house tucked on the High Street in Staithes, moments from the harbour and beach. The property offers rare rear sea and harbour views from two upper bedrooms and a roof terrace — a standout feature in this coastal village setting. Its former life as the Fishermens' Institute gives the cottage original stonework, a distinctive stone fireplace and historic charm.
The layout is straightforward: a large open-plan ground floor with kitchen area (coal-fired Rayburn), living and dining space, plus a ground-floor bathroom and storage. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, two with patio doors opening onto the roof terrace where you can sit out and enjoy views across to Cowbar and out to sea. A back door with a ramp leads to a small shared courtyard on Garth Ends.
The house is sold requiring renovation; it would benefit from a comprehensive modernisation scheme. Practical drawbacks to budget and planning include electric room heaters (no central heating), presumed uninsulated stone walls, slow broadband, very small plot size, and a medium flooding risk — all facts reflected in the price. These are important for buyers considering running costs, retrofit work and insurance.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking a short-stay/holiday or long-term rental opportunity, a renovation project with strong seaside appeal, or someone wanting a compact family/second home in the North York Moors National Park. The property’s size and condition mean it’s best for those prepared to invest in upgrading and insulating the historic fabric rather than someone seeking a move-in-ready home.
