‘Dream’ Victorian house near a beach
Marske Mill Lane, Saltburn £950,000 www.inglebysestateagents.com
The owners of this wonderful period house in Saltburn-by-theSea have loved living there for the last 20 years and have turned it into the perfect family home.
The property is in an ideal spot, tucked away in a quiet location but within easy walking distance of the beach, shops, schools, golf course, leisure centre and other amenities in this increasingly popular coastal town.
Owner Barrie Thornton says: “There were six of us, me, my wife and our four children and we wanted a place we could all enjoy.
“This house is the kind I had always dreamed of living in. It’s Victorian with plenty of period features and it has a lovely feel and flow.”
During the family’s time there, the property has been regularly updated and its most recent makeover is sensational.
Now their children have flown the nest, the Thorntons are downsizing. Barrie says: “It has been a very happy home to live in and for that reason we are selling with heavy hearts.
“However, it is a large house and we feel it is time for another family to enjoy what we have had so we are passing on the baton.”
The property is in one of Saltburn’s most sought-after areas, on the corner of Marske Mill Lane and Victoria Terrace.
It has a large hall with original Victorian tiles, wood-burning stove and an open staircase to the first floor.
On the ground floor, there are three large reception rooms, a conservatory and a stunning, open-plan kitchen and dining area, along with an orangery, utility room and ground floor W/C.
On the first floor, there is an open landing area plus four spacious bedrooms, one with ensuite, and two bathrooms, one with an additional dressing area.
On the second floor is a guest bedroom with en-suite, an office, and a principal bedroom suite with bathroom and dressing room.
The latter could be rearranged to accommodate an additional bedroom to make a total of seven bedrooms.
Outside, there are front and rear gardens, along with parking for multiple cars and a large driveway and double garage.
Saltburn has boomed since the pandemic as more would-be buyers from outside the area have discovered its many charms.
Saltburn is close to the North York Moors National Park and has its own railway station with trains to Darlington from where you can catch a train to London.
It has plenty of period features and a lovely feel and flow. It has been a very happy home.
