Darlington Terrace, TS13

This fabulous Grade II listed double fronted stone built fisherman's cottage sits above the cobbled High Street in the historic seaside village of Staithes in the North York Moors National Park and has perfect chimney pot views towards Beck Side and Cowbar.   

Offered for sale with no onward chain and vacant possession upon completion, very rarely do properties of such character come onto the market offering an ideal blank canvas and the ability to put your own stamp on, whilst retaining many Period features including exposed stone walls, replacement sash windows, exposed beamed ceilings... let alone the opportunity to be able to sit out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings whilst sat in your front garden.   The property also has a spacious double fronted brick store/workshop to the rear and a brick built coal store to the front of the property.  

This lovely three storey property is ripe for investment and would make a beautiful family home, or for those wishing to make an ideal base for exploring the stunning heritage coastline and the wonderful countryside of the North York Moors.

The seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist's dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs and there is a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. Spend the day exploring the narrow alleyways and quirky ginnels, visit the local museum and gallery, or enjoy an invigorating cliff-top walk along the Cleveland Way. Staithes is a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
