Whitby property Hornblower Lodge, which housed town's old foghorn station, is on the market

It also has incredible sea and country views and comes with an adjoining cottage and a successful tea garden business.

Hornblower Lodge is an adapted and extended former foghorn station that was built in 1900 as a warning system to ships during inclement weather.

Its two 20-foot-long foghorns perch on the roof, but have not been in use since they were decommissioned in 1988.

Now, Hornblower Lodge is a four-bedroom family home within a plot of about an acre.

It has an adjoining one bedroom holiday cottage, and an on-site tea garden, well used by walkers on the Cleveland Way.

A central courtyard has space for a hot tub and there is access to a laundry room and WC. A brick-built workshop serves the Hornblower Tea Garden, with patio seating and a kiosk.

Hornblower Lodge is for sale with Jackson Estate Agents, Whitby priced £750,000. Call 01947 606111 for details.
