Close to the 199 steps, the Abbey & Tate Hill Beach with views over the harbour, a Grade II listed stone built 2 Bedroom Terraced Cottage currently run as a successful holiday let but also offering the option of a residential or holiday home. Lovely characterful property with its own unique history.

DESCRIPTION

Hidden away off Church Street in the heart of the town, we are delighted to offer to the market a gem of a home. This 17th Century, Grade II listed stone built Two Bedroom Terraced Cottage has immense charm and character. The 2-bedroom accommodation is arranged over three floors. The cottage is a mere 10 metres away (walking down New Way Ghaut yard) from the water’s edge, a small beach area and the glorious views over the harbour and sea front.

The cottage has its own, outside, walled in, private and secure patio area. Very rare on this type of property, especially in the ‘old town’.
Notable features include gas central heating, some secondary glazing, beamed ceilings, an open plan lounge and kitchen area, a first-floor master bathroom and bedroom and a second floor en-suite master bedroom. The lower ground floor room which incorporates a laundry room and a separate storage area, is accessed from a separate door in the walled courtyard
Many individual shops, pubs, eateries, Tate Hill beach, Whitby Abbey and the 199 steps are all within comfortable walking distance.
The property is currently run as a successful holiday let with advertising on prominent sites (i.e Trip Advisor, Whitby On-Line, Airbnb and others) but also offers the opportunity for residential buyers as a freehold private sale or those looking for a holiday home. The property will be sold as seen with all equipment and furnishings etc to be included in the sale, allowing a new buyer to potentially let out immediately.
Since the owner purchased the cottage, gross rental income has ranged from £14,000 to almost £35,000 per annum (annual earnings vary depending on the economic climate at the time). Future bookings into 2024 have already been taken. These bookings would be passed on to any buyer to host these guests. Presently, over £4670.00 worth of confirmed bookings are still to be taken up to July 2024.
Situated in one of the oldest parts of the town, this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase something unique with its own long history and historic past. The cottage was constructed circa 1640 with the internal walls of original stone, laid there over 400 years ago by craftsmen of the day. ‘Awd Tut’ derives from old Yorkshire slang and means ‘Old Tom’. This was the nickname given to one of the residents, a gentleman called Thomas Dryden, born in Whitby in 1866. He was a fisherman and a member of the lifeboat crew in his younger days.
Rarely does a well-situated property like this one, by the harbour, become available, so please call us now to arrange a viewing.
