Five Bells, Garth Ends, Staithes, Saltburn By The Sea, TS13

A 2 bedroom property on Garth End that has a lovely balcony with great views overlooking Cowbar, The Harbour and out to sea.

Five Bells has been owned for a long of time by the same family and used privately as a second home and has not been let out.
The property is accessed via flight of steps from Garth Ends which take you up to the front door and into a small lobby area where coats and boots etc can be stored. There is also a storage cupboard for larger things like hoovers and ironing boards. The lobby leads into the kitchen/diner.
The kitchen diner has a window overlooking the harbour side and a window to the side looking across the Beck. There is a built in oven and electric hob, sink and space for a washing machine and a freestanding fridge freezer. There is a fireplace and also space for a dining table and a T.V.
Stairs lead up to the first floor where at the top of the flight there is a door out onto the balcony where you can really enjoy the views. There is also a door into the room that the current owners use as a lounge which has a feature fireplace, built in cupboards and a window overlooking the harbour.
On this floor there is a fully tiled shower room with a shower cubicle, hand wash basin and W.C.
Stairs again lead up to the top floor where there is a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room with shower cubicle, hand wash basin and W.C. There are also built in storage cupboards/wardrobes. Again there are beautiful views to the front of the cottage.
Garth End is a great location , close to The Cod & Lobster, the beach and straight onto the High Street. It is tucked away from the busier Seaton Garth and is a lovely place to sit and quietly admire the sea.
For those interested in the name Five Bells- and a bit of maritime history- bells were traditionally used for time keeping on ships - a bell marking each half hour on deck watch.  After the mutiny at the Nore (1797), the bells on the 4-8 watch were changed. From 4:00 to 8:00 pm, the usual bells were struck except that at 6:30 pm only one bell is struck instead of five; two at 7:00 pm; three at 7:30 pm; and eight bells at 8:00 pm. Thus the signal for the mutiny, five bells in the second dogwatch, has never since been given. A series of rapid, successive strokes on the bell is used as a warning during fog, and, at other times, this is a fire signal. So Five Bells isn't a regularly used bell toll onboard!
