Salt Box Cottage, 2 Castle Crescent, Scarborough Guide price £300,000

Occupying a desirable position below the Castle in Scarborough’s Old Town, Saltbox Cottage offers a delightful blend of original and quirky features whilst benefitting from new heritage double glazing. Set over five floors with breathtaking views to the south over the harbour and coastline, Saltbox is an ideal choice for those seeking to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of the famous coastal town of Scarborough, England’s first original Victorian sea-side resort.

Arriving at the front south facing terrace you enter the ground floor through a small vestibule that leads to the kitchen breakfast room, with its free-standing wood kitchen units, cooking range, dishwasher, fridge and a Victorian fireplace. Double doors lead to a rear, private, courtyard with useful access to Castlegate, and to the utility room. From the hall, stairs lead down to a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and toilet.

On the first floor is the charming sitting room with its unrivalled views, a Victorian fireplace and alcove storage. Adjacent to the sitting room is a double bedroom with a quiet aspect over looking the rear courtyard. Stairs lead up to the master bedroom with the best views of South Bay and some very useful wardrobe cupboards. There is also a family bathroom on this floor fitted with a bath, period washbasin, toilet and a separate shower enclosure.

Sitting at the top of Saltbox is a very useful occasional room in the loft space with velux windows to the rear, spacious eaves storage, and currently used as an office.
