Quirky three-bed cliff-top home with stunning views of the North Sea and only one neighbour in sight could be yours for £525,000 – but there’s a catch
This beautiful house for sale is situated on the cliffs of North Yorkshire and has a huge garden, spare bedrooms and even paddocks for horses - as well as one very unusual addition
WITH a huge garden, stunning sea views and a private swimming pool, this beautiful property on the coast of Whitby would be a fantastic place to watch the sun set over the cliffs.
And at £525,000 it could be yours. But alongside its three bedrooms and two adjoining holiday cottages - there is one rather unusual extra addition.
The house will give its new owners something to shout about with two giant FOGHORNS on the roof.
The quirky property, on the edge of a 200ft cliff in North Yorkshire, used to be Whitby Foghorn station until it was modernised in 2007.
The property was originally built in 1858, two years after Trinity House bought the land, and was originally one of two lighthouses on the clifftop.
But in 1900 the lighthouse tower was removed and the building was converted into a foghorn station.
It has two foghorns on the roof, 20ft long and 8ft high, with one facing north and the other south.
In foggy conditions it would send out a blasting sound four times every 90 seconds, with a few seconds gap between the blasts.
