1 Blackburns Yard, Church Street, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4DS

PARTICULARS OF SALE
No. 1 Blackburns Yard lies in the very heart of the oldest part of the town, positioned approximately half way up Church Street, between the swing bridge and the steps up to the Abbey. It is perfectly located for access to the shops, restaurants and the beach at Tate Hill sands and also comes fully furnished.

This is perhaps one of the most memorably well preserved cottages we have seen, packed with quirky period character including beamed ceilings and panelled walls. It is, as you might expect a grade II listed building.

From the yard, a part glazed entrance door opens directly into the living room, which has a compact kitchen partitioned off in the rear corner. The room has part panelled walls, a fireplace with gas stove, exposed beams and a tightly winding staircase rises up to the upper floors.

The Kitchen area has a modern suite of white cabinets with wooden worktops and a ceramic sink and a window faces to the rear. Fittings include an oven and hob and there is also space for a fridge freezer. The kitchen also houses the wall mounted gas combi central heating boiler.

First Floor:
The staircase rises to a first floor landing with a useful store cupboard and doors opening to the master double bedroom, lying at the front of the property and to two near identical shower rooms with shower cubicles, WCs and wash basins. The only significant difference being that the second one has a window to the rear.

Second Floor:
The staircase then rises again to a second floor where doors open to two further bedrooms and a loft ladder rises up to the third floor.

The second bedroom also has a double bed and like the master bedroom lies at the front of the house.

The third bedroom lies to the rear and is a single sized room with built in wooden bunk beds. It has a small window and a skylight to the rear.

Third Floor:
The loft ladder rises up directly to the attic sleeping area which also has a double bed and Velux rooflight windows to the front and rear.
