Back St. Hildas Terrace, Whitby, YO21 3AE

Lee Cottage is built of stone under a mainly slated roof. The property has uPVC double glazing and was given a modern extension to the rear roughly 30 years ago.

The upgraded and extended accommodation stands in a walled garden and offers good quality flexible accommodation with 2 double bedrooms upstairs and a study which is a potential third double bedroom on the ground floor next to the shower wet room, should you need to live on the ground floor.

The gardens offer an oasis of green close to the town centre with gated driveway access from the side and a car port, but there is also a double garage and driveway parking beyond the wall. At the end of the garden is an annex which could be used for family or letting or could make a superb home office or studio.
