Town house for sale in Upgang Lane, Whitby YO21

This is a fine example of a Grade II listed Georgian town house with the benefit of having south facing gardens and a detached double garage with artist's studio, all within walking distance of the beach - a rare combination in Whitby. The property has been lovingly refurbished and maintained over many years by the current owners to preserve the Georgian Adam features such as fireplaces and ornate plasterwork. The interiors have been brought up to date with contemporary design to enhance this stylish home. Dating from the late 1700s this substantial property was built and owned by bankers and ship owners. More recently it has been a family home in addition to offering guest accommodation. The accommodation is spread over 5 floors, comprising 2 reception rooms off the main hall on the ground floor with the kitchen, dining room, utility, and pantry on the lower ground floor with access to the gardens. There are 7 bedrooms, a study and 2 bathrooms, all benefitting from having gas central heating and quality fixtures throughout. Outside there is a walled forecourt garden on the north side of the house, but the majority of the land lies on the south side where a large garden has been terraced and leads down to Springvale where there is parking and the detached garage. This is a rare opportunity to own an historic home on the North York Moors coast.
