Marketed by Croft Residential the £2 million Grade II listed property has been described as Yorkshire's most photographed home.
Beacholme in Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, was built right on the beach and dates back to 1650.
Painter and sculptor Barbara Hepworth spent her early life holidaying at the property with her family.
She painted many of her masterpieces from her bedroom window.
The property featured in an episode of the Hairy Bikers Go North with Si King and Dave Myers cooking langoustines on the balcony and in the kitchen.
Charlie Luxton Filmed an episode of 2014 series Homes by the Sea that featured the property heavily.
Agents Croft Residential said: "Beacholme offers an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive and sensational beachfront properties on the Yorkshire coastline."
The historic property was listed on Rightmove on the 17 of June for a staggering £2 million.
It boasts three floors, three bathrooms and three bedrooms with each getting its on en suite.
The house offers several balconies and terraces that overlook the sea and the beach - one of which was used to film an episode of the Hairy Bikers.

The same terrace was used by Johnny Vegas to record an episode of his popular Shedtown radio series.
Croft Residential said in their listing: "Beacholme is a piece of living history, only previously passed down the generations through word of mouth: this is a once in a lifetime chance to own something irreplaceable."
Located in the historic town of Robin Hood's Bay Beacholme is a mere 6 miles from Witby and 16 miles from Scarborough.
The property is built right on top of the beach with the sea reaching Beacholme's exterior walls at high tide.

Every window and balcony of the property offers a stunning sea view and the local town can provide all the essential amenities.
Private steps lead from the property to the sea offering easy beach access to the owner.
Croft Residential went on to say: " Homes of this calibre - with direct beach access, panoramic views, and a front row seat to the Jurassic coastline - are incredibly scarce and almost never come to market.
"Whether you're dreaming of a serene coastal retreat to call home or an utterly unique holiday escape, this exceptional property delivers on every level, combining comfort, character, and an unrivalled location by the sea."
Beacholme came on the market on June 17 and is currently open for viewings and bids.

Inside the 'saddest' Grand Designs house
Savills's listing reads: "The property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take on and finish the specification and fit out of one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes.
"The bespoke design has been brought to life through impressive engineering, with the building being anchored to the bedrock, blending whitewashed elevations with steel and glass, culminating with a lighthouse feature at one end giving almost 360-degree views of the coastline.
"The position combines privacy with a diverse range of breath-taking views, all set in around 3 acres, which includes a large area of foreshore, a private tidal beach area and coves."
The property is set in three acres of land and is equipped with an infinity pool and a hot tub as well as a spacious driveway.
Nic Chbat, director of Match Property estate agents in North Devon, who previously assisted with finding a buyer last year said at the time the sale stalled after the timeframe for the sale "expired".
He added the previous buyer was 'still wanting to buy the property,' and the sale was still expected to proceed.
The new listing though would suggest the purchase was never made with the sale now being handled by London-based estate agents Savills.
A spokeswoman for both Savills and the receivers Bellevue Mortlakes said: "The sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes and for the buyer to put the finishing touches to the property's interior to their own specification.
'The current sale price (offers in excess of £5.25m) represents fair value noting the prevailing economic and heterogeneous nature of this opportunity.
"The property has panoramic sea views and is set in grounds of over three acres, including foreshore and a tidal beach, with accommodation extending to over 6,260 sq ft.
'The detached guest lodge/holiday let accommodation extends to about 1,270 sq ft and is included in the sale price.
'Subject to registration with the agents, the receiver has provided an extensive suite of information and supporting documentation relating to the building's history, construction and title, which are available via an online data room."
