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
Hendersons are delighted to introduce this substantial and characterful residence, located in the heart of the ever-popular coastal village of Robin Hood’s Bay.
Built in 1897 by renowned sea captain Jacob Storm, this impressive home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property rich in history, charm, and exceptional versatility.
Set across three floors and extending to over 4,000 sq ft, the accommodation is both generous and flexible, lending itself to a variety of uses.
Whether you are seeking a spacious family home, a continuation of a successful Bed & Breakfast business rated No.
2 in Robin Hoods Bay, or a lifestyle investment with income potential, this property effortlessly caters to all. Stepping inside, you are immediately struck by the scale and elegance of the interiors.
A welcoming entrance hall with original tiled flooring and a sweeping staircase sets the tone, leading through to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms.
High ceilings, ornate cornicing, and feature fireplaces run throughout, creating a timeless and refined feel.
The ground floor offers multiple reception spaces, including a formal dining room, elegant sitting rooms, and a large kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear, a stunning garden room with exposed beams and vaulted ceiling provides a more relaxed living space, opening out onto the private gardens beyond.
To the upper floors, the property continues to impress with a number of well-sized bedrooms, many enjoying elevated views across the village and towards the coastline.
The second floor is currently configured to provide a self-contained apartment, offering excellent potential for holiday letting or long-term rental income, while still allowing the main house to be enjoyed in full.
Externally, the property benefits from a beautifully maintained garden, a rare find within Robin Hood’s Bay.
Laid mainly to lawn with mature planting and a central feature fountain, it provides a peaceful and private setting, perfect for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the surroundings.
This is a home that offers far more than just accommodation, it presents a lifestyle opportunity.
With its rich heritage, flexible layout, and prime coastal location, it is equally suited to those looking to establish a thriving hospitality business or create a truly special family home with additional income streams.
