INTRODUCTION: Originally built in 1650, Beacholme offers an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive and sensational beachfront properties on the Yorkshire coastline.

In the very heart of Robin Hood's Bay albeit perfectly tucked away on the edge of the sea, this remarkable home occupies a truly privileged position, offering expansive, uninterrupted sea views.

Homes of this calibre - with direct beach access, panoramic views, and a front row seat to the Jurassic coastline - are incredibly scarce and almost never come to market.

Whether you're dreaming of a serene coastal retreat to call home or an utterly unique holiday escape, this exceptional property delivers on every level, combining comfort, character, and an unrivalled location by the sea.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a beautiful entrance hallway that offers an immediate sense of warmth and calm.

Designed to capture and frame the spectacular scenery through every window, the living area is beautifully laid out in an 'L' shape with built-in window seats, inviting the outdoors in.

Opening through elegant French doors, the private balcony soaks up the vista, offering effortless relaxation whether you are reclining indoors or basking in the sea air with the continuous sounds of the waves.

On the ground floor, lies a retro style kitchen that beautifully flows into the adjoining dining room, creating a harmonious space that balances functionality with refined style.

The dining area opens directly onto a private south facing terrace through French doors, boasting perfectly positioned and intimate spots for conversation, reading, or quiet reflection.

Surrounding the terrace is an impeccably manicured display of lush evergreen plants and flower beds chosen not only for their beauty but their resilience in the salty sea breeze; all taken care of by the automated watering system whilst your away.

Ascending to the second floor, there are two fabulous bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one of which has sensory privacy glass, which magically changes from clear to opaque as you enter; both finished to an exceptional standard with sleek fittings, electric blinds, and calming tones.

Alike all the windows in Beacholme, expansive sea views are framed throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms, constantly reminding you of the home's unparalleled position.

Occupying the entirety of the top floor is the principal bedroom suite.

Framed by characterful beams, the windows are perfectly positioned so that the first thing you see upon waking is the open sea and morning sunlight.

The en-suite bathroom is indulgently styled, even with sea views from the shower! Beacholme holds a rich and fascinating history, deeply connected to the early life of Barbara Hepworth.

During the 1910s, Barbara spent her childhood family holidays in this very property and was so inspired by the stunning views, she painted many of her classic masterpieces, from her bedroom window.

The dramatic coastline, cliffs, and natural beauty left a lasting impression on her, playing a formative role in shaping her artistic sensibilities and became a major influence on her sculpture artwork beginning in the 1920s, where organic forms, textures, shapes and a deep connection to nature became central themes.

Beacholme' s unique character and unrivalled position took centre stage in 2015, when the property was featured in Channel 4 television's series 'Homes By The Sea'.

Additionally, The Hairy Bikers filmed an episode of their series 'The Hairy Bikers Go North: Yorkshire Coast' in Beacholme in 2021, where they bought some local langoustines and cooked them on the balcony.

Interestingly in 2011, Johnny Vegas recorded his popular 'Shedtown' radio series on the same terrace at Beacholme.

Beacholme is a piece of living history, only previously passed down the generations through word of mouth: this is a once in a lifetime chance to own something irreplaceable.
