Goathland, Whitby, YO22 5LX

Built in traditional stone and arranged over three floors, the cottage offers more accommodation than its exterior might initially suggest. The ground floor is centred around a generous kitchen/dining room, providing plenty of space for everyday family life and entertaining, with a separate lounge alongside. The lounge has a cosy feel, with a wood-burning stove forming a natural focal point and adding to the property's cottage character.

Upstairs, the first floor provides two bedrooms together with a modern shower room. Both bedrooms are doubles, with the rear-facing accommodation enjoying a particularly attractive outlook across the neighbouring fields and countryside beyond. A staircase continues to the second floor where a surprisingly spacious attic room provides extremely useful additional accommodation. Currently used as a versatile extra room, it would work equally well as a home office or hobby room.

Outside is where the property's tucked-away position really comes into its own. To the rear is an enclosed garden designed with low-maintenance enjoyment in mind, incorporating paved and decked seating areas with plenty of room for outdoor dining and relaxing. Beyond the boundary, the outlook opens directly across neighbouring pasture and towards the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderfully rural backdrop despite being right in the centre of the village.

Summerholme Cottage offers an unusual combination for Goathland: a peaceful position, open countryside views and immediate access to village life, whilst also being famously associated with the much loved TV series Heartbeat! Whether considered as a permanent home, North York Moors retreat or investment opportunity, it is a characterful and highly individual cottage in a location that is difficult to replicate.

Buyers Identification Check(s)

Once an offer has been accepted on a property marketed by Hendersons, all purchasers are required to complete an identification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale.

These checks are a legal requirement and form part of our obligations as estate agents. We use a trusted third-party compliance provider to complete the necessary identity verification and AML checks. Please be assured that this is not a credit check and will have no impact on your credit history.

The cost is £30 including VAT per purchaser, payable once an offer has been agreed and before the Memorandum of Sale is issued. Please note that this fee is non-refundable.
