Description

Located in one of Whitby's most sought-after locations just 300m from the sea front, this exceptional 4-bedroom townhouse on South Terrace seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary elegance. Extensively refurbished to a high standard in recent years, the property boasts high-quality fittings and finishes throughout, while sympathetically retaining beautiful original features. Set over four floors and approaching 2000 sq ft, the home offers a flexible layout that’s ideal for both full-time living and luxurious coastal retreats.

The accommodation boasts natural light throughout, with elegant living spaces that capture the essence of modern comfort and timeless design. On the ground floor, the living room features classic herringbone wood flooring and a log burner for cooler evenings, and the breakfast kitchen offers integrated appliances, and ample units and worktop space. The first and second floors comprise four double bedrooms and a stylish house bathroom. Providing excellent versatility, the lower ground floor has been thoughtfully configured to provide a studio with its own open-plan kitchen/living area, and shower room—perfect for guest accommodation, a self-contained rental, or a private workspace. There is also a useful utility room with access to the rear garden. Each level has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space and natural light, with tasteful décor enhancing the home’s period character.

Externally, the property offers a rare combination of features in this central location: a sunny, walled courtyard garden at the rear—ideal for alfresco dining and relaxation—and a garage door creating private driveway parking for one car, plus additional parking available immediately behind. Situated just a stone’s throw from the seafront and historic harbour, South Terrace enjoys views towards Whitby Abbey and provides easy access to the town’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and coastal walks. A truly unique opportunity in the heart of Whitby, likely to appeal to a variety of purchasers; those searching for their next home, or a second home/coastal retreat, or those looking to establish an income stream through occasional holiday rentals or even a full-time holiday lettings business.

Whitby is a picturesque coastal town known for its dramatic cliffs, historic charm, and maritime heritage. Set within the North York Moors National Park, it offers stunning views of the North Sea and easy access to beautiful moorland landscapes. Nestled at the mouth of the River Esk, it boasts a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period and is famously associated with the 7th-century Whitby Abbey, a striking ruin that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The A171 road links Whitby to Scarborough in the south and Middlesbrough to the north, while regular bus services connect the town to nearby villages and coastal resorts. Whitby is also served by a railway station at the end of the Esk Valley Line.
