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
Hope & Braim are delighted to present Prospect Cottage, a charming semi-detached stone cottage situated in the village of High Hawsker, occupying a convenient position between Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.
The accommodation is full of character, with the lounge immediately impressing through its beamed ceiling and living flame fireplace, a welcoming focal point that speaks to the cottage's traditional appeal.
The modern kitchen/diner offers a practical contrast, fitted with integrated appliances and providing a comfortable everyday living and dining space.
To the first floor, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having fitted wardrobes, are served by a family bathroom and separate WC, creating a layout well suited to couples, small families, or those seeking a holiday let investment in this popular stretch of the North Yorkshire coast.
The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, ensuring year-round comfort with running costs kept sensibly in check.
Outside, a small front yard and enclosed rear yard provide low-maintenance outdoor space, manageable for those who prefer time spent exploring the surrounding countryside to tending a garden.
High Hawsker is a quiet village community with the added advantage of a local pub within easy reach, while the nearby coastal path and open moorland offer outstanding walking directly from the doorstep.
Both Whitby, with its full range of shops, restaurants, and transport links, and the picturesque fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay are within comfortable reach.
Offered to the market chain-free, Prospect Cottage represents a straightforward acquisition for buyers seeking a characterful home or investment property in a well-connected North Yorkshire coastal setting.
