PARTICULARS OF SALE
Valley View is a striking house, lying facing to the southwest on the end of a terrace of cottages, within The Valley at Sandsend. The property is grade II listed and retains a good many character features despite having been modernized and extended by the current owners. This attractive 4 bedroom house sits in an elevated position above the path and stream running through The Valley, commanding views over the area and being something of a sun-trap on warm afternoons.
The cottage, which has been a much-loved second home for over 30 years, has been sympathetically extended from its original 3 bedroom footprint to provide a second reception room opening into the garden and a guest bedroom suite off a second staircase rising from this space. This offers guests privacy, with an en-suite bathroom. The main body of the house offers a master double bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and also 2 further bedrooms, a double and a twin currently presented with bunk beds, plus a house bathroom, making 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in all.
Downstairs, the original house had numerous small rooms, some of which have been amalgamated, and in this way the property benefits from a main lounge which has windows to the front and side, with a fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, plus a second chimney breast which has now been sealed.
Similarly, the dining kitchen is now a spacious L-shaped room with windows to both the front and rear, offering plenty of space for both cooking, dining and storage. The kitchen is fitted with a contemporary suite of cabinets with polished quartz worktops and both
concealed and integrated equipment including an automatic washing machine, a tumble dryer, automatic dishwasher, electric oven and hob with cooker hood over. Although not integrated, a recessed position has been created for an upright fridge-freezer. A door from the kitchen opens to a useful larder, which in turn has an external door opening to the enclosed, paved rear yard with storage shed.
Double doors open from the dining kitchen through into the extension where the garden room has been created, so called because bi-folding doors on both the front and side elevations open this room up to combine with the garden terrace and patio for entertaining.
The gardens offer a number of different areas for sitting out and include terraced banksides planted with trees and shrubs, as well as a small lawned area and a patio. There is even a garden shed for storage and the oversized, double-glazed hardwood entrance porch can double as a small conservatory seating area. In addition to the freehold property, the owners currently rent some additional land from Mulgrave Estate. This land lies above the house and a winding flight of wooden steps rise up to a decked seating area with a timber garden summerhouse, built by the owners on the rented land which is referred to as 'The Lookout', enjoying views out to sea as well as longer hours of sunshine.
The spacious living accommodation, with many delightful features including beamed ceilings, sash windows, panelled doors and a log burner, mixed with a high standard of fixtures and fittings, mean that the property is ready to use straight away. With good-sized private gardens, the beaches, walks and coastal paths just on the doorstep; and Whitby and all it has to offer a short drive away; this is a cottage which should tick all the boxes, whether looking for a permanent home, second property or investment.
