Robin Hood’s Bay is the gem of the Yorkshire Coast. And, chances are, if you’ve visited the historic fishing village, then you’ve most probably snapped a picture of this particular Grade II-listed house. Located on the seafront looking out over the stunning cliffs and out to the North Sea, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Yorkshire’s most famous houses.
Built in 1650, Beachholme has uninterrupted panoramic sea views with direct beach access to the Jurassic coastline. Owning this serene coastal retreat is owning a piece of history in an unrivalled location. The idyllic fishing village dating back to the 16th Century is infamous for its winding, steep cobbled pathways lined with colourful flowerpots and cottages clinging to ravine sides.
The Robin Hood’s Bay property holds a fascinating history and is connected to the early life of Barbara Hepworth, an English artist and sculptor. Hepworth spent her childhood family holidays here and was inspired by the views, painting many of her classic masterpieces from her bedroom window. Not only that, but the dramatic coastline, cliffs, and natural beauty, her sculpture artwork began in the 1920s.
Today, Robin Hood’s Bay house feels bright and vibrant, painted white throughout with wooden panelling fit for that coastal vibe. Almost everywhere in the house offers up stunning views, it’s hard not to feel inspired, taking it all in.
Outside, you’ve got a great space to entertain and more incredible sea views on offer. It feels hidden from the hustle and bustle of the village, which at peak season is a busy place to be, with tourists flocking to the coast. On the right day, you could feel like you’re somewhere on the coast of Italy if it weren’t for those classic cliff views that scream Yorkshire.
Beacholme doesn’t come cheap. To own a piece of Yorkshire history, you’ll have to part with £2 million for the three-bedroom three-bath house. But, sitting out front enjoying those views out to see is a priceless experience for those who can afford it, and if we had that kind of money, we’d be snapping this property up. That’s for sure.
