3 bed cottage for sale

Seagul Cottage, Church Street YO22

Hendersons are delighted to introduce this wonderfully charming cottage, enviably positioned close to the foot of Whitby’s iconic 199 Steps and right in the heart of the town’s historic old quarter. Full of character and coastal charm, this delightful property offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors and is perfectly suited as a successful holiday let, second home or characterful permanent residence.

Stepping inside, the cottage immediately impresses with its warm and inviting atmosphere. The cosy lounge is rich in period charm, featuring exposed ceiling beams, timber flooring and a feature fireplace with stove, creating the perfect setting to unwind after a day exploring Whitby’s cobbled streets and coastline. The separate kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the space while retaining the cottage’s quirky appeal, with exposed brickwork and traditional-style cabinetry adding further character.

To the upper floors are three bedrooms, each individually styled and brimming with charm. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and elegant, while the top floor bedroom is a standout feature of the home, showcasing dramatic exposed roof trusses and vaulted ceilings that create a truly memorable space. A modern shower room serves the accommodation and complements the cottage beautifully.

The location is undoubtedly one of the property’s greatest assets. Situated just moments from the famous 199 Steps, St Mary’s Church and Whitby Abbey, the cottage enjoys immediate access to the very best of the old town, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, the harbour and beach. The picturesque cobbled streets surrounding the property create an atmosphere that is quintessentially Whitby and continue to attract visitors year after year.

Properties in this location rarely fail to capture attention, particularly those offering such an abundance of charm and character throughout. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an iconic slice of Whitby’s historic old town lifestyle.
