The property

Kingfisher House is an impressive Victorian residence nestled in the heart of Staithes, one of North Yorkshire’s most picturesque coastal villages.

Ideal for families or groups of friends, this charming property offers stunning sea views, a freestanding bath, and table football for added fun.

Inside, the home celebrates its heritage with high ceilings, ornate coving, mosaic floors, and stained-glass accents.

The inviting hallway opens into two elegant reception rooms: a bay-fronted lounge with a feature fireplace and countryside views, and a stylish dining room perfect for family meals and long conversations after a day by the sea.

The kitchen combines classic design with modern convenience, featuring quartz worktops, dual ovens, a five-ring induction hob, and a dishwasher, ideal for preparing hearty breakfasts before coastal walks.

Upstairs, six beautifully appointed bedrooms await, three with en-suite showers.

The first floor offers bright doubles, one with a TV, while the top floor adds two more rooms, including one with a TV and table football.

A luxurious bathroom, featuring a slipper bath and a separate shower, completes the interior.

Outdoors, enjoy morning coffee in the enclosed front garden or take advantage of rear courtyard parking for two cars.

From Kingfisher House, wander Staithes’ cobbled streets, admire fishermen’s cottages clinging to cliffs, and explore the harbour’s tidal waters.

Visit the Staithes Gallery, follow coastal paths for dramatic views of Cowbar Nab, or relax with coffee overlooking the sea.

A short drive brings you to Whitby’s historic charm, climb the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, browse quirky boutiques, and award-winning fish and chips.

In Saltburn-by-the-Sea, ride the Victorian cliff lift, stroll the pier, or watch surfers from the promenade cafés.

Head inland to Guisborough, gateway to the North York Moors, where forest trails and the ruins of Gisborough Priory await.

Kingfisher House offers a rare chance to experience Yorkshire’s coast and countryside in a spacious, character-filled home steeped in history.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £800.

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.
