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 Heather Cottage, a terraced stone cottage set within the popular village of Aislaby, near Whitby, positioned on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and within easy reach of the coast.
This traditional stone-built cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a project, requiring refurbishment throughout but with great potential to create a characterful family home or holiday retreat, taking full advantage of its desirable rural setting.
Internally, the cottage comprises a spacious living room, where an open fire provides a natural focal point and promises a cosy atmosphere once the room is updated.
The kitchen/diner is fitted with a range of cabinets and integrated appliances, offering a practical base from which to plan further improvements, with ample space for family dining.
Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes providing useful storage. These are served by a bathroom fitted with a corner bath that has a shower over it.
The cottage benefits from electric storage heaters and double-glazing throughout, offering a sound starting point for a new owner looking to modernise and add their own stamp to the property.
Aislaby is a sought-after village location, offering a peaceful setting with the moors on the doorstep and the coast within easy reach, making this an appealing prospect for those drawn to walking, countryside living, and access to Whitby's harbour and amenities.
