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
Hunters Exclusive are proud to bring to the market this exceptional top floor penthouse apartment, set within a charming Grade II listed building occupying a prime position on Scarborough’s sought-after South Bay Esplanade, boasting outstanding sea and castle views.
This impressive Edwardian building was constructed in 1905 and originally used as a holiday home before being thoughtfully converted into a collection of spacious sea-view apartments.
The building has also featured in the well-known television programme The Royal, adding to its historic and architectural appeal.
Upon entering the building through ornamental wrought iron gates, residents are welcomed into a pleasant communal courtyard.
The arched main entrance faces north, where five tall Edwardian stained-glass windows overlook a private inner garden and loggia.
The walled garden offers a charming setting with a covered patio framed by Greek columns and a raised flowerbed, providing beautifully maintained communal areas for residents to enjoy.
Occupying the top floor, the apartment itself offers generous and well-balanced accommodation, combining period character with modern living.
The large living room is a real standout feature, enjoying far-reaching views across the sea and Scarborough Castle, making it an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining.
A modern fitted kitchen complements the home beautifully, offering contemporary style while remaining in keeping with the apartment’s character.
The property comprises two spacious double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a roll-top bath alongside a separate shower, adding a touch of luxury and timeless elegance.
This unique penthouse apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in one of Scarborough’s most prestigious coastal locations, with the added benefit of attractive communal gardens and shared areas, perfectly suited to those seeking space, history, and unforgettable views.
