Lumley Cottage, The Valley, Sandsend, YO21 3TE

Stone cottages in The Valley do not come up very often and when they do, they inevitably attract plenty of interest. This attractive 3/4 bedroom cottage lies slightly inland, close to St Mary's church, away from the tourist throng but close enough to be in easy reach of the beach and other facilities whilst offering an idyllic location within The Valley.

The cottage, which has been a much loved 2nd home for 20 years, has been extended from its original footprint to provide spacious living accommodation, with many delightful features including open beamed ceilings, original sash windows, window seats and a log burner mixed with a high standard of fixtures and fittings, and is ready to use straight away. With good sized private gardens to the front and rear, the beaches, walks and coastal paths for which Sandsend is famous just on the doorstep and Whitby and all it has to offer a short drive away, this is a cottage which should tick all the boxes, whether looking for a permanent home, second property or investment.
