A Timeless Coastal Retreat in the Heart of Historic Staithes
Tucked away at the top of Barras Square within one of the North Yorkshire coast's most celebrated fishing villages, this Grade II Listed cottage represents an opportunity to acquire a piece of living history just moments from the water's edge. Forming part of a late eighteenth or early nineteenth century row of coursed stone cottages, complete with the distinctive pantiled roofs that have defined the Staithes skyline for generations, this characterful home speaks quietly but compellingly of the village's enduring appeal.
Across three storeys, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the cottage's small proportions. The ground floor opens into an inviting open plan living room and kitchen — a sociable, well-considered space where original beamed ceilings and exposed stonework serve as a constant reminder of the property's considerable age and heritage. Period sliding sash windows, faithful to the cottage's listed status, frame glimpses of this extraordinary village throughout.
The first floor offers a comfortable double bedroom and a modern shower suite, while the uppermost storey provides a further double bedroom tucked within the roof space — a delightful retreat with all the charm one would expect from a property of this character. Electric storage heaters ensure warmth throughout the seasons, and the property is currently a private holiday home, available fully furnished and ready to welcome guests from the moment of completion.
With Staithes consistently ranking among the most sought-after coastal destinations on the Yorkshire coast — beloved by artists, walkers, and those simply seeking sanctuary from the ordinary — the earning potential here is as compelling as the setting itself.

About this agent
We are here to provide local knowledge and first class customer service within the Whitby property market Aside from working as estate agents in the Whitby area for over 30 years, both Jon & Emma also live here. Emma moved here at a young age along with her retired grandparents, was educated here and has worked in Whitby all her life. Whilst Jon chanced upon Whitby some 20 years ago and fell in love with the town and the surrounding countryside, so decided to stay and raise his family here. We’d like to think we understand why people like living here so much and hope that we share some of the communities values and aspirations. Local knowledge and first class customer service are at the forefront of everything we do in our agency. Our staff will work with you from the moment you enter our offices to the signing of the last pieces of paperwork.
