Find Out A Little More .... - This charming freehold property, constructed in stone with a slate and Rosemary-tiled roof, is a period residence attached on one side. It has benefited from several updates in recent years, including a new roof, and all windows are double-glazed. There are two precautionary flood protection barriers - one at the front and one on the side access.

Currently arranged as three self-contained flats - lower, middle, and upper - each has its own independent access. The flats have been let under Assured Shorthold Tenancies and, more recently, as holiday lets. Flats 1 and 3 are currently vacant, while Flat 2 is occupied by the owners. We understand that the owners have sought professional advice regarding the potential restoration of the property back into a single, unified dwelling.

Outside - The house sits behind a boundary stone wall with a flood barrier garden gate. On-street parking is available to the front.

Side access leads to the private, enclosed garden which rises in a series of terraces, each offering increasingly spectacular views of the coastline. The five terraced levels, each supported by retaining stone walls, create a variety of distinct garden spaces. These include a block-paved patio ideal for al fresco dining, productive vegetable beds and a generous lawn.

A collection of outbuildings defines the northwestern boundary, many constructed in brick with pantile roofs. These include a pizza oven, potting shed, smoker outbuilding, barbecue area, additional storage building, laundry house, greenhouse, and timber shed. The southeastern boundary is formed by a combination of timber fencing, an outer hedge and a stone wall, providing privacy and structure to the garden.

At the far end is an additional slice of land rented from the Mulgrave Estate at a current rate of £300 pa inc. VAT. We have been advised that it extends to some 2970 sq ft.

Sandsend is a charming seaside village, renowned for its wide sandy beach that stretches all the way to Whitby. Beyond the shore lie the valleyed woodlands of the Mulgrave Estate, offering picturesque walks and stunning scenery. The village provides a range of amenities, including a superb café, a pub/restaurant, a fish restaurant, local shops, a doctor’s surgery and a regular bus service. An 18th-century stone bridge spans the meandering beck, which gently winds its way to the sea.

The A174 runs along the coast, linking Whitby to the north, just a five-minute drive away - or a popular stroll along the beach at low tide. Whitby itself is an historic seafaring town of national renown, situated at the heart of the Heritage Coast and surrounded by the dramatic and unspoiled landscapes of the North York Moors National Park.
