71 Cliff Road, Hornsea - A Home Bursting with History, Character & Coastal Charm
Some homes are beautiful. Some have history. And some - like this one - have both in abundance. In 1935, celebrated Yorkshire author Winifred Holtby stayed right here while writing her most famous novel, South Riding. Today, a green plaque proudly tells the world you’re standing in a true piece of literary history.
From the moment you step inside, you can feel the character. Soaring high ceilings, intricate original ceiling roses, and sun-soaked bay windows create an unmistakable sense of grandeur. The two reception rooms are full of warmth and charm, perfect for cosy nights in or gathering friends and family. The re-fitted dining kitchen is the heart of the home - modern, stylish, and ideal for cooking up a feast. A handy utility room and downstairs WC make life that little bit easier.
Upstairs, there’s space for everyone with four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms - a fabulous four-piece suite for a long soak and a separate shower room for busy mornings. And here’s a lovely surprise: the top floor front bedroom offers a cheeky glimpse of the sea from two corners of the window, just to remind you how close you are to the coast.
The west-facing rear garden is your own private suntrap, perfect for lazy afternoons. And that ? Whether you dream of an artist’s studio, a home office, or a peaceful hideaway, the possibilities are endless.
And let’s talk about … recently voted - with its stunning sandy beach, bustling promenade, friendly independent shops, cosy cafés, and the breathtaking Hornsea Mere, this is coastal living at its finest. Beverley, Hull, and the M62 are within easy reach, but here you can slow life down, .
This isn’t just a house. A chance to live where inspiration lives.
