1 Hollins Cottages, Eskdaleside, Grosmont, Whitby, North Yorkshire

PARTICULARS OF SALE

With a name like “The Old Sweet Shop” there is an immediate sense of history behind this terrace of stone cottages which look westward over the Esk Valley to the moors beyond, and rightly so. Formerly homes for iron ore miners back in the 1840’s when they were back to back cottages, the two sides have long been joined together to create the spacious cottages we see today.

Bought as a virtual wreck nearly 20 years ago the vendors have lovingly renovated, upgraded and brought back to life this delightful cottage using for themselves to enjoy our stunning area and as a commercial holiday let with lots of repeat bookings for others to do so as well.

With plenty of charm and character, including exposed beams Indian Sandstone floor and a warming wood burning stove , the cottage has generous, well-proportioned accommodation, modern uPVC double glazing throughout, and much more besides. Beautifully presented throughout with a lovely garden to the rear and a parking space close by, there is everything you would want from a country home whether to live in or use as the vendors do now.
