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 Birkby Cottage, a charming period property occupying a delightful position on Chapel Street in the heart of Robin Hood's Bay, one of the North Yorkshire coast's most celebrated and sought-after villages.
Believed to date from the seventeenth century, the cottage is constructed in sandstone beneath a pan tiled roof and retains a wealth of original features throughout.
A handsome six-panel door beneath a gabled hood on long brackets provides a characterful entrance, whilst internally the property has been sympathetically maintained to preserve its period integrity.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation offers a pleasing layout with genuine character at every turn.
The ground floor provides an open plan living room and kitchen, where exposed stonework and a beamed ceiling create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity.
The first floor houses the principal bedroom and a bathroom, whilst the top floor, set within the roof space, contains two further double bedrooms and a separate WC, a sensible arrangement that makes excellent use of the available space.
The cottage is offered fully furnished and benefits from gas central heating throughout.
It has an established and successful holiday let history, providing an attractive income stream for the discerning purchaser.
Robin Hood's Bay draws visitors in considerable numbers throughout the year, and properties of this character and standing in the village are seldom available on the open market.
The village itself offers a pleasing range of local amenities alongside the natural drama of the North Yorkshire coastline, making this an equally compelling proposition as a permanent residence, second home or investment property.
