71 Cliff Road, Hornsea - A Home Bursting with History, Character & Coastal Possibility

Guide price £245,000 - £255,000 - no chain!

Some homes are beautiful. Some have history. And some - like this one - have both in abundance. In 1935, celebrated Yorkshire author Winifred Holtby stayed right here while writing her most famous novel, South Riding. Today, a green plaque proudly tells the world you’re standing in a true piece of literary history.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the soul of this home. Soaring high ceilings, intricate ceiling roses, and sun-soaked bay windows create a sense of timeless grandeur. Every room feels warm and inviting - full of charm, character, and stories waiting to be told.

The two reception rooms offer wonderful flexibility - cosy up by the fire on winter evenings or open the doors to let in the sea breeze on lazy summer days. The re-fitted dining kitchen is the true heart of the home - modern, stylish, and perfect for cooking up a feast to share with friends and family after a day on the beach. A handy utility room and downstairs WC add to the practicality.

Upstairs, you’ll find four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms - a fabulous four-piece suite for a relaxing soak and a separate shower room for busy mornings. The top floor front bedroom enjoys a glimpse of the sea, offering a daily reminder of how close you are to the coast.

Step outside and you’ll discover your own private haven. The west-facing garden is a real suntrap, made for barbecues, afternoon teas, or a quiet moment with a good book. And the large summer house is a wonderful bonus - whether you imagine a creative studio, home office, or a peaceful guest retreat.

But what truly sets this home apart is its location. Hornsea was recently crowned “The Best Seaside Town in the UK” (Airbnb) - and for good reason. Here, life moves at a gentler pace. Take morning walks along the beach as the sun rises over the North Sea. Pick up a coffee and wander the promenade. Browse the independent shops, stop for fish and chips, or spend a lazy afternoon watching the boats on Hornsea Mere.

Evenings bring their own magic - golden skies, the sound of waves, and the feeling that you’ve truly escaped the rush of everyday life. Beverley & Hull are all within easy reach, yet it feels like a world away.

And for those looking for more than just a home… this property also offers exceptional potential. Previously run as a successful Airbnb, it could easily return to holiday-let glory, offering guests a stay steeped in history and coastal charm. Equally, it would make a wonderful second home or investment opportunity, or the perfect place to put down roots by the sea.

This isn’t just a house.
It’s a story.
A piece of history.
A home where inspiration lives – and where your next chapter could begin.
