Beckfield is a stone-built detached property situated down the hill in the old village of Robin Hood's Bay. Built in 1886, the original purpose of the property was as the police station and many interesting features still remain. The house is within a two minute walk of the beach and all the local amenities, and is centrally heated and double glazed throughout. The tiered patio offers a spacious outside area with views over New Road and is perfect for barbeques or just sitting and watching the world go by. Additionally, there are outbuildings including a coal house, W.C. and wash-house. Beckfield is home to one of the famous "spots" in the bay, when the house was purchased by the family of the current owners in 1938 a gate for the house was made for them by the famous Thompson of Kilburn. His mouse trademark is a favourite with visitors. Please note that the house is accessed via steps from the road, the external photo helps show how many the house inside is on 3 levels.
