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 Dolphin 1736 Cottage, a characterful bolthole tucked away in its own private yard just off Flowergate, in the heart of Whitby's town centre.
Behind an unassuming exterior lies a home full of surprises.
The open-plan living room and kitchen forms the heart of the cottage, fitted with matte effect cabinetry and a full range of integrated appliances, offering a smart, contemporary contrast to the building's older bones.
Exposed stonework and beamed ceilings run throughout, speaking to the cottage's age and character, while a corkscrew staircase leads up to the first floor with a charm few modern homes can match.
Upstairs, two bedrooms make efficient use of the cottage's compact footprint, served by a smartly appointed modern shower suite.
Heating is provided throughout via modern electric systems, keeping the property practical and easy to run.
Dolphin 1736 Cottage is sold as an established holiday let and comes fully furnished, offering a straightforward, turn-key opportunity for a new owner to continue trading with immediate effect.
Its position, just moments from Flowergate's shops and cafes and a short walk down to the harbour and abbey steps, makes it a genuinely appealing base for holidaymakers exploring Whitby.
