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
Description: A substantial six-bedroom Victorian residence situated within easy reach of Whitby's bustling town centre, historic harbour, and stunning coastline.
Currently operated with three guest accommodation bedrooms whilst retaining spacious private living accommodation, the property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial family home, multi-generational residence, or lifestyle business in one of North Yorkshire's most sought-after coastal destinations.
This versatile property successfully combines comfortable residential living with established guest accommodation, offering prospective purchasers the flexibility to continue the current arrangement, expand the guest offering, or revert the property entirely to a private residence.
The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and retains a wealth of character and period charm synonymous with homes of this era.
A particular feature of the property is the generous rear parking area, providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a highly desirable asset within Whitby town centre and a significant benefit for both residential and guest use.
Positioned on the ever-popular Prospect Hill, Manor View enjoys excellent access to the town's extensive amenities, independent shops, restaurants, railway station, and the picturesque Yorkshire coastline, making it an exceptional lifestyle purchase with income potential.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully maintained by the current owners and offers a ready-to-move-into home with the added benefit of established guest accommodation, should purchasers wish to continue operating the property in its current format.
Externally, the property benefits from attractive outside space and enjoys an elevated setting which enhances both privacy and the picturesque outlook.
Whitby continues to be one of the Yorkshire Coast's most desirable locations, attracting visitors throughout the year and offering excellent opportunities for tourism-based businesses, while equally appealing to those looking for an exceptional family home close to the coast.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, space, and superb setting of this home. Viewings can be arranged through our office, and an online virtual tour is also available.
