This Grade II listed sandstone cottage in Whitby Old Town is a rare, characterful freehold with seaside position and proven holiday-let income. Arranged over four floors, the property offers two bedrooms (master with en-suite), an open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen, and a private walled courtyard—uncommon for this location. Its proximity to the harbour, 199 Steps and Whitby Abbey places shops, pubs and beaches moments from the door.
The cottage is currently run as a successful holiday let with confirmed bookings into 2026 and has taken over £17,000 in the current tax year (April 2025 onward). It is sold as seen with all furnishings, appliances and fittings included, enabling immediate re-letting or move-in. A lower-ground laundry and storage area, with separate access from the courtyard, offers conversion potential for additional accommodation (subject to consents).
Important practical notes: listed status (Grade II) will impose restrictions and may complicate alterations or conversions. The plot is very small and the property sits in an area noted for higher crime and local deprivation; buyers should assess insurance, security and management for holiday use. Energy performance details are available on request and the property is offered freehold, council tax band C for domestic purchase.
This cottage suits a buyer seeking a ready-made holiday income stream or a distinctive seaside home with strong location and character. Expect ongoing conservation responsibilities and the need to work within listing constraints if you plan significant changes.
