Summary - 17 WHITE HORSE YARD WHITBY YO22 4BW
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact, characterful coastal base ideal for holiday let or second home.
Grade II listed period cottage with original beams and panelling
A charming Grade II listed cottage tucked into a quiet cobbled yard on Whitby’s east old town. The house is newly renovated inside, keeping period character such as exposed beams and panelling, and benefits from modern comforts including double glazing and mains gas central heating. At about 571 sq ft the layout is compact: two ground-floor bedrooms, a larger attic bedroom, a lounge-diner and an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, plus a private paved patio.
This property suits a buyer wanting a low-maintenance coastal base or a holiday-let/investment close to beach, harbour and town amenities. The immediate location offers excellent mobile signal, convenient local shops and tourist footfall, which supports short-let potential. The accommodation is offered with vacant possession and is ready to occupy following the recent works.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate repairs or extensions. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no added insulation and may need ongoing maintenance to manage historic fabric. The neighbourhood is classified as deprived with higher local crime rates and a transitional Eastern European community profile; rental demand is present but local tenure and tenant mix are constrained.
Overall, this is a characterful, compact Whitby cottage with seaside location and holiday/investment appeal, best for buyers who value period charm and accept listed-building responsibilities and close-town living.
