We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
+++Situated within a secluded gated courtyard in the highly sought-after South Cliff area of Scarborough are these two modern-built semi-detached cottages, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a pair of contemporary homes ideal for investment, holiday accommodation, multi-generational living or a buy-to-let portfolio.+++ Beautifully tucked away in a private setting, both properties provide well-presented and low-maintenance accommodation arranged over two floors, with each home benefitting from modern interiors, open-plan living spaces and excellent energy efficiency.
The properties are ideally positioned close to Scarborough town centre, the South Bay, local amenities, transport links and the Esplanade.
Each cottage briefly comprises an entrance hallway with access to two bedrooms and a modern bathroom suite to the ground floor, while the first floor features a bright and spacious open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area.
Designed with contemporary living in mind, the layouts maximise natural light and create versatile living spaces suited to both permanent residence and holiday use.
The fitted kitchens offer modern units and integrated cooking facilities, with ample space for dining and entertaining.
Externally, the properties are accessed via gated entry into a private courtyard development, creating a secure and secluded environment with low-maintenance outdoor space and off-street access.
The unique tucked-away setting provides a peaceful atmosphere whilst remaining conveniently close to the many attractions and amenities Scarborough has to offer.
This is an excellent opportunity to purchase two adjoining modern cottages in a desirable coastal location, with potential for strong rental returns, holiday letting income or flexible family accommodation.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, versatility and investment potential of these unique properties.
