Storm Cottage, Shell Hill, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4SL

PARTICULARS OF SALE A grade II listed building, Storm Cottage is one of the traditional fisherman’s cottages located in the lower part of this popular village, within a hundred yards or so of the beach.

The cottage has been upgraded and refurbished by the current owners to a very good standard and has been a successful holiday cottage for over a decade.

The property has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a single living room with a well appointed kitchen.

Outside, there are two outbuildings, one used for storage and the boiler, and the other a good sized utility room with a WC, but perhaps with development potential.

Built into a sloping bankside, the property has two front doors, one onto Fisherhead, at the rear, at what is first floor level, and the other onto Shell Hill at the ground floor level opposite the outbuilding.

Approached from the front, off Shell Hill, a traditional entrance door opens into… Entrance Hallway: The L shaped entrance hallway offers access to the staircase and a door opening into … Living Room with Kitchen: The living room area has two sash windows to the front aspect, a beamed ceiling and wall light points.

The focal point of the room is a stone fireplace, with a Stovax multifuel stove and tiled hearth.

The kitchen area is located at the back of this room on a raised level and includes a suite of oak units under polished granite worktops and integral equipment including a ceramic sink, refrigerator, electric oven and hob plus cooker hood.

1st Floor A staircase rises from the hallway to a first floor landing, where a traditional part glazed panelled door opens onto Fisherhead at the rear.

The landing has a beamed ceiling, houses the staircase to the attic bedroom with a store cupboard under; and from here stripped pine panelled doors lead to… Bedroom 1: A double bedroom with a traditional sash window to the front.

This room also has a beamed ceiling and a feature fireplace on the wall.

Bathroom: A good sized bathroom with a sash window to the front aspect, a beamed ceiling and a modern, 4 piece white bathroom suite including a quadrant shower cubicle and separate panel bath.

2nd Floor A winding stair rises up from the landing directly into….

Dormer Bedroom 2: A large bedroom presented with 3 single beds, this room has reduced headroom at the edges, but is not cramped, with a broad dormer window facing out to the rear.

Outside To the rear of the cottage is a door to Fisherhead with a small grassed area between the door and the footpath which is not part of the title of the property but is commonly used for sitting out by the owners.

There is also a small stone outbuilding used for storage which also houses the central heating boiler.

Opposite the front door of the property, on Shell Hill, there is a larger outbuilding currently used as a utility room with a ceramic sink and points for a washer and dryer.

A WC with a high flush suite is partitioned off the room. This outbuilding could potentially be developed to form an extra room for the house, say as a bedroom, subject to necessary consents.
