Description
West Royd is a substantial and beautifully presented Victorian property occupying a prime position at the top of the picturesque coastal village of Robin Hood’s Bay. With five generous double bedrooms, four en suites, a private master suite with dressing room and luxurious bathroom, sea views, private parking for two cars and a large front patio overlooking the bay, this versatile home offers an exceptional combination of family living, entertaining space and potential business/holiday accommodation. Robin Hood’s Bay is renowned for its charming streets, independent eateries, traditional pubs and restaurants, while the Cleveland Way is just minutes away and the beach and sea are within easy reach. West Royd is ideally placed to enjoy everything this much-loved coastal village has to offer. The property is approached via a large front patio, a wonderful space for morning coffee, entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying the spectacular views across the bay towards Ravenscar and the surrounding countryside. A porch/boot room leads into the impressive entrance hallway, where the original 128-year-old Victorian tiled floor immediately provides a sense of the character and history of the property. The spacious sitting room occupies the front of the property and benefits from a large bay window with superb sea and hillside views. A brick fireplace houses a Town & Country log burner. Double doors open into the dining room, allowing the two rooms to work beautifully together when entertaining. A separate den/snug provides a relaxed and versatile additional reception space. Currently used by the owners for relaxing in a couple of easy chairs. The dining room overlooks the pretty rear courtyard/garden area and comfortably accommodates a six-seater dining table. Built-in storage and another impressive brick fireplace, believed to be the original cooker fireplace from when the house was constructed, add further character. A second Town & Country log burner makes this a particularly inviting room for family meals and dinner parties. Kitchen & Utility The well-proportioned fully fitted kitchen provides excellent storage and includes a double sink and a range of integrated appliances, all of which are included in the sale. These include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, additional freezer, gas hob and electric oven and grill. A further door leads into the utility room and downstairs WC, which houses the gas boiler, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also extensive storage, with all the appliances included. Five Double Bedrooms & Exceptional Accommodation The first floor provides a spacious landing and three double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The impressive front bay bedroom enjoys a particularly attractive bay window with seating and spectacular views across the sea and bay. There is potential to create a balcony from this area, subject to the necessary consents. The en suite bathroom is finished in a traditional style. A dedicated laundry/linen room is also located off the landing. Continuing to the upper floors, a striking picture window floods the landing with natural light while providing lovely views towards the sea. The staircase is complemented by a beautiful crystal chandelier. The upper accommodation includes two further double bedrooms, an office/study area and the owners' suite. Bedroom Four benefits from a luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate shower, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding hills. Principal Suite – Dressing Room & Private Bathroom The dressing room has been meticulously designed and features extensive floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes by Hammond's, providing generous 'his and hers' hanging space, internal drawers and a dedicated shoe cabinet. A discreet 'secret' door leads through to the private bathroom, which has been carefully designed as a luxurious retreat. It features dual sinks with storage, a separate WC and a freestanding double-ended bath, from which you can enjoy views towards the sea. A wall-mounted TV completes this indulgent space. Home Office The spacious landing between Bedrooms Four and Five incorporates a fully fitted home office, again installed by Hammond's. The bespoke desk, cupboards and extensive storage provide an ideal workspace, with a dedicated printer area and further storage available within the eaves. At the very top of the house, Bedroom Five is currently used as the principal bedroom by the owners and enjoys wonderful sea views. Turnkey Holiday-Let Potential. West Royd offers considerable flexibility for those looking for a substantial family home with additional income potential. With the exception of the principal bedroom, each bedroom is currently furnished to a high standard with a double bed, bedside tables and lamps, fitted wardrobe/drawers, television, fridge, toaster, crockery, tea and coffee-making facilities and hairdryer. Each room also has seating, allowing guests or family members to enjoy breakfast in the privacy of their own room. The furniture, linen and existing guest stock are all included in the sale, creating a genuine turnkey opportunity for anyone wishing to continue the current holiday accommodation use, subject to any necessary permissions, or simply to retain a beautifully furnished coastal home. Outside & Parking One of West Royd's particularly valuable features is its private rear driveway with parking for two cars – an unusual and highly desirable benefit in Robin Hood's Bay. There is also a wooden shed providing useful additional outdoor storage. Further Features The property has been tastefully decorated throughout, with neutral carpeting and full double glazing. For additional peace of mind, West Royd benefits from a fully integrated fire alarm system, including emergency lighting and smoke and heat detectors throughout the appropriate areas and bedrooms. The system is serviced annually by East Coast Alarms. The Perfect Coastal Escape Whether you're looking for a substantial family residence, a second home by the sea, a retirement retreat or a property with established holiday accommodation potential, West Royd offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and versatile Victorian home in one of Yorkshire's most sought-after coastal villages. With its exceptional sea views, generous accommodation, original period features, private parking and proximity to the beach, Cleveland Way, village amenities and the beautiful Yorkshire coast, West Royd is a home that truly needs to be viewed to appreciate all it has to offer.
