2 bedroom cottage

Hope & Braim are delighted to present Dock Cottage in Robin Hoods Bay to the market.

Dock Cottage is an historic home that is only yards away from the beach and lies at the heart of the coastal village of Robin Hoods Bay. Believed to date from the 1600’s, this Grade II Listed property is full of charm with quirky rooms over four floors that all enjoy views over the hustle and bustle of The Dock and the sea beyond. The cottage has been in the ownership of the same family for over seventy years and is currently a successful holiday let that comes with private parking at the top of the village. On the ground floor is a breakfast kitchen that has a range of fitted cabinets, space for a breakfast table with seating, and a storage cupboard. A corkscrew staircase leads up to the lounge that has a log burner, sofa and chairs where guests can curl up and keep warm and watch the waves crash onto the dock. There is also a WC on this floor and a lobby that has steps down to the street. On the upper floors there is a bedroom on each floor with an en-suite bathroom on the first floor and beamed ceilings on the top floor, with the benefit of electric central heating throughout. The private parking is located on Laburnum Avenue at the top of the village and is on a separate title form the cottage but is included in the sale. The cottages' tenure is an ancient lease, called a "Chomley Lease" dating from the 1600's, which is common for period properties in Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby and other villages. There are no charges associated with these leases and generally an endemnity policy is offered.
