Homes in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Saltburn-by-the-Sea is a Victorian planned resort, built from the 1860s on cliffs above a sandy beach. Its heart is a grid of brick terraces, including the well-known jewel streets, and grander villas and terraces along the cliff tops overlooking the sea. The town is famous for its pier and cliff lift, and much of the Victorian centre is a conservation area.
Many large Victorian houses have been converted into flats, and there are 20th-century semis and bungalows on the edges of town. Nearby Skelton and Brotton have stone and brick terraces linked to the former ironstone mines, along with newer estates. Saltburn's cliff-top position and exposure to North Sea weather make maintenance a constant concern for owners of period homes.
Areas we cover include Skelton, Brotton, Old Saltburn, Marske-by-the-Sea.
