Rare chance to buy a family cottage in central Whitby - see inside...

A cottage that occupies the whole of one of Whitby’s famous ‘yards’ in the old town has come up for sale.

Hidden away on the private Lees Yard, and accessed from the cobbles of Church Street, this double-fronted stone property has more space inside than you would imagine.

It could be a permanent family home, a weekend cottage, or could equally be a buy to let investment.

Modernised and refurbished with care throughout its interior, Welsby Cottage has a big new dining kitchen with fitted units, and a pantry cupboard that has space to be a cloakroom or boot room.

A large open lounge has a fireplace as a central feature.

Two double bedrooms are on the first floor, with a modern family bathroom, while the second floor offers two more good size bedrooms, with velux windows.

Period features in keeping with the cottage are evident in high skirting boards, ceiling beams and deep window sills that are great for floral displays or for displaying photographs and ornaments.

With gas central heating, the cottage offers a cosy warmth, and has an outdoor utility as a bonus factor.

Welsby Cottage, Lees Yard, Church Street, Whitby, is being sold with all fixtures and furnishing, and is priced at £550,000.
