CURRENTLY used, in part, as a guest house, Overdale House is a large Victorian villa that no doubt once served as the family home to a well-to-do middle class businessman or working gentleman and his family and it could, without any effort at all, be reinstated to its position as a family home once more.

This elegant period property, which has been lovingly maintained by the current owners, combines modern comforts with classic features including high ceilings, original fireplaces and characterful details throughout three floors of spacious living space.

A wide entrance hall with a striking stained glass door and original staircase provide a glimpse of what lies within. On the ground floor, this includes a lounge featuring a large bay window to the front and a log burner set in a charming fireplace, plus a country-style kitchen fitted with solid oak topped bespoke cabinetry and solid oak worktops, a central island breakfast bar and a cooker set feature alcove. Off the kitchen are a shower room, a laundry room and a garden room that connects the interior seamlessly with the outdoor space. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Spread across the two upper floors are six bedrooms, five of which have en-suite bathrooms. All the en-suite rooms are generous doubles, while the sixth room offers flexibility to be used as a nursery, home office or additional bedroom.

Outside, the front of the property has been tarmacked to provide ample off-street parking, although part of this could be reinstated as gardens should the buyers wish to.

The landscaped rear garden is a real highlight. It features paved and decked seating areas, raised planted beds, a stunning oak-framed shelter perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining and a timber cabin tucked away at the back with its own en-suite bedroom which could be used as a guest suite, teenager’s retreat or even a granny annexe.

Whether you're looking for a large family home, a property that could be part home and part income generating business or a place to turn into a guest house or holiday lets, Overdale House has everything you could want and enjoy a marvellous location right on the doorstep of everything Whitby has to offer.

Overdale House, Whitby, is on the market at a guide price of £630,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Hendersons Estate and Lettings Agents on 01947 602626.
