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
The Property Dating back to mid-late 1800s, this attractive stone-built period home stands beneath a slate roof and occupies a generous plot within the town.
Having been in the same family ownership since 1958, the property offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a home with a rich history and exceptional potential.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and currently comprises a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, garden room and ground floor WC.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC, providing ample space for family living.
The house has been a much-loved home for many decades and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to undertake a comprehensive programme of renovation and modernisation.
Requiring updating throughout, the property offers excellent scope to reconfigure and enhance the existing accommodation, and there may also be potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
One of the property's most appealing features is the generous plot. The house sits to the front of its plot, enjoying mature gardens together with off-road parking and garaging to the side.
The outdoor space provides plenty of room for further landscaping and enhancement, complementing the significant potential offered by the house itself.
Opportunities such as this are increasingly rare.
Combining period character, a substantial plot and the chance to create a bespoke home, this is a property that offers enormous promise for its next chapter.
Location The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of the centre of the highly regarded market town of Oundle, with its excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and local amenities.
