Some Potential Options
The 2 loft rooms have some areas of restricted head height, due to the sloping ceiling and purlin timbers. Access up the stairs to the top floor also has significantly restricted head height. The loft rooms have been in their current format for many years (20+). Whilst useful space, we anticipate most buyers would now look to maximise the potential by building a dormer window to the rear slope. This would significantly resolve the restricted height issue, and would also create a very pleasant view of Whitby Abbey. Removing the current stud partition wall would create a larger double bedroom, with potential space for an en-suite/shower room (subject to planning permission and any required regulations). Other potential layout changes which some buyers may find interesting to consider include: The bathroom is very large, so perhaps could be repositioned to create a bedroom. The lower ground floor kitchen could also be turned into a living room or en-suite bedroom, with the kitchen perhaps relocated to the ground floor.
Ground Floor
Double glazed front door into an inner vestibule, leading onwards to the hallway and stairs. Plentiful natural daylight via rear windows.
Lounge (11' 2'' x 11' 0'' (3.40m x 3.35m))
Comfortable lounge area with front window and exposed brick feature fireplace with log burner. Open plan into:
Dining Area (10' 1'' x 8' 8'' (3.07m x 2.64m))
Rear window. This space could potentially make a good kitchen area as part of a reconfiguration.
Lower Ground Floor
Stairs down from the hall and door into:
Kitchen Diner (14' 4'' x 11' 9'' (4.37m x 3.58m) max.)
A good sized dining kitchen with a range of fitted units with electric hob and oven. Space for a dishwasher and fridge. Ample dining and seating space, feature fireplace with log burner, rear window and door to the rear yard. If the kitchen was moved to the middle floor, this large space could make an additional living space or en-suite bedroom.
First Floor
Landing area with further stairs upwards.
Bedroom One (14' 8'' x 10' 11'' (4.47m x 3.32m) max into alcove.)
