Lifeboat Cottage, Staithes TS13

Hope & Braim are delighted to present Lifeboat Cottage, an historic fisherman's cottage and former boathouse on Northside in Staithes, offering characterful accommodation, a large workshop and garage, and the rare benefit of parking.

The cottage is full of period character, with exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings, and is currently run as an established holiday let.

At ground level are the garage and a large workshop. External steps lead up to the front door, which opens onto the first floor. Here, the open plan living room and kitchen/diner forms a sociable and welcoming space, ideal for relaxing after a day on the coast. The bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite, is also on this floor.

Within the roof space are two connecting bedrooms, each with a dormer window and striking cruck frame beams that give these rooms real charm.

Outside, the terrace enjoys pleasant views over the beck and harbour and provides a lovely spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.

The workshop and garage provide excellent storage for bikes, kayaks or fishing equipment, and parking is a real asset in Staithes. There is also potential to convert the workshop into a third bedroom with en-suite, subject to permissions, which would add additional flexibility and appeal.

Staithes is a picturesque coastal village with a harbour, a small beach and a long fishing and artistic heritage, along with pubs, cafés and galleries. The Cleveland Way runs through the village, and Whitby lies a short drive along the coast, while the North York Moors are close by.

Lifeboat Cottage would suit buyers looking to continue its use as a holiday let, as well as those seeking a second home or a permanent base by the sea.
