Description
An imposing and meticulously decorated 'Fisherman's Style' cottage, currently utilised as a successful holiday let, is now available for acquisition. Boasting unrivalled sea and coastline vistas, this property, offered with no onward chain, promises an extraordinary living experience. Nestled within a 'stone's throw' from Scarborough's South Bay, this mid-terrace home is a rare gem in Scarborough's historic old town. The property can be offered with vacant possession or as a going concern with the fixtures and fittings (subject to negotiation).
Upon entry, the charm of the three-bedroom cottage captivates with its nautical theme and impeccable presentation. The top floor living area features a delightful roof terrace, an ideal space for basking in the panoramic sea, bay, and coastal views. The accommodation, arranged over three floors, includes a cosy living room exuding comfort and relaxation. The open plan kitchen and dining area impress with sleek cream cabinets and modern appliances, perfect for self-catering stays.
The first-floor bedrooms offer access to a balcony with mesmerising outdoor seating, ideal for soaking in the sea air. The second floor hosts a spacious third bedroom featuring a seating area and a generous balcony, offering a serene space for unwinding.
Externally, an enclosed yard area with outdoor seating allows for delightful alfresco dining experiences. Additionally, the property's proximity to pubs, restaurants, beaches, and various attractions provides a vibrant lifestyle backdrop for residents and visitors alike.
Boasting such remarkable features and lifestyle benefits, including the property's suitability as a permanent residence, holiday retreat, or investment opportunity, we highly recommend viewing to fully appreciate the splendour and serenity this coastal retreat offers. Don't miss out on the chance to make this slice of seaside paradise your own.
