14 Windsor Terrace, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO21 1ET

14 Windsor Terrace is an end-terrace Victorian house that has been divided to provide a self-contained 1 bedroom flat on the ground floor whilst the upper two floors are a 3 bedroom duplex apartment. The basement level of the building has been adapted to provide a garage and 2 storage / work rooms, but are not modernised. Outside there is forecourt parking, a garage and a rear yard.

Built in a 'high' Victorian style the property has retained a number of original character features including moulded cornices, flag-stoned floors, heavy panelled doors and window reveals, character staircase, etc. The property has been well maintained, with recent work including replacing windows, re-pointing and re-roofing the front of the building, but is ripe for further modernisation to bring it entirely up to date.

Occupying the majority of the ground floor, 14a is a separate flat and is accessed from the gardens to the side of the house, where a path leads around to an insulated modern entrance door at the rear. The front door opens into a lobby with doors off to the bathroom and through to a hallway with access to all the remaining rooms.

Occupying the entirety of the top two floors of the building, 14 Windsor Terrace has the use of the handsome, broad half-glazed entrance door, lying on ground floor at the top of the stone entrance steps. The door opens into a lobby with a further, half-glazed inner door opening into a broad hallway with staircase then rising up to the first floor and the accommodation.

The large bedroom lies to the front and again has the views over the town, plus a walk-in wardrobe / store. The second bedroom is also large, but with an aspect to the rear.

The Basement Level

The lower ground floor of the building would originally have been for the staff of the house and offered kitchens and storage etc, but the principal room at the front has had the bay window opened up with a sliding door (6' wide only) to turn it into a garage with an inspection pit in the floor (part filled).

A door under the entrance steps to the main front door opens into a hallway with a flag-stoned floor and a doorway into the garage, before widening with a flight of steps that formerly rose up to the house, but have now been sealed off.

There is a storage area under these stairs and doors open to a large work room, with a window to the rear and flagstoned floor; plus a store room at the rear with a window and a half-glazed door facing into the rear yard.

The basement area of the building is damp and ripe for further work, but offers the potential of a further flat, subject to planning.

Externally

The forecourt area in front of the house offers off-street parking and access to the garage door. There is also a small store under the main access steps.

The gardens lie to the side of the house and are terraced to make them more practical, with a tree and a lawn plus areas planted with flowers and shrubs. The lower section of the garden potentially offers scope to create further off-street parking.
