Glenfield, Victoria Terrace, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, North Yorkshire

PARTICULARS OF SALE
A late Victorian terraced house, Glenfield was divided into just 2 apartments in 2008. The ground floor garden apartment (no.1) and a larger duplex apartment on the upper floors (no.2).

The long leasehold tenure prevents commercial holiday letting, and until recently the property has been a private home, the ground floor accommodation being a good alternative to a retirement bungalow. The property would be equally well-suited to being a private second home, as the property is close to the village amenities, but out of the way of the busier areas of tourist footfall.

The property has just one bedroom, but with a private garden, private parking and a sea view, it could now go either to a resident or as a cosy bolt-hole for weekend escapes.

Outside
The front of the property faces broadly south and the use of the front garden is private to the downstairs flat. There is a lawn with a shrub border and a low brick wall. Both flats have access up the entrance path to the communal entrance door, but the upper flat has it own area of garden opposite the building.

At the rear, there is a private yard, just outside the back door, in front of the extension that houses the kitchen and bathroom. At the end of the building there is a gravelled driveway, half of which belongs to the ground floor apartment, giving sufficient space to park 2 cars.
