Description
Sit an enjoy a glass of wine and take in the panoramic sea views over the world renowned Robin Hoods Bay from this most attractive Grade II listed cottages situated beneath the moors on the old coastal road from Ravenscar.
Unique in many ways and reputedly re-build it 1769 from earlier cottages, these most delightful cottages retain the charm, character and features one would expect whilst been thoughtful and sympathetically modernised and extended over the years,
Offered as a single holding, the cottages were purchased 12 years ago to retire and have since undergone a large scale improvement program, including an extension to one of the cottages, new roads, the construction of a large wooden garage/workshop and in that time the cottages have been used as a base for the family to enjoy the delights of this area.
This is the opportunity to continue this occasional holiday use or to combine the two to create a large single dwelling, utilise them both as holiday units either privately or for commercial or family house with annex.
The appeal of the cottages continues outside where there are extensive and varied gardens above and to the South side, with delightful patios, natural garden areas, lawns and shrubberies. The most appealing of these is a good-sized private summerhouse with decked area which enjoys a picture-like view over the bay and the recently taken in paddock which would be suitable for a small pony.
The cottages have the advantage of excellent road access from Ravenscar, with Whitby, Scarborough and York all within driving distance. Robin Hoods Bay can be accessed by foot along the old railway line or Cleveland Way, both of which run close by.
Altogether an opportunity to acquire a ready-made, perfect period holiday home in one of the most beautiful locations on this section of the Heritage Coast that should not be missed.
These Unique and versatile cottages are being offered as a whole, but offer potential for a variety of uses subject to planning permission.
Firstly they could be used as we have used them for the past 10 years, to entertain family and friends in a peaceful and idyllic setting with amazing views over the bay.
Secondly they could be converted to create one large family home and continue to be used as above.
Then there is the potential to create a holiday letting business, by letting out either one or both of the cottages, also previous planning permission had been granted for a static caravan in a private area of the grounds giving a possibility of further rental income.
We have carried out a considerable investment in additions and improvements to the properties over the last 10 years, seldom do properties as unique and versatile as this come to market.
