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
Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Crawleyside, this immaculately presented two-bedroom terraced house offers a rare blend of traditional charm and modern comfort.
Brought to the market chain free, and extensively updated by the current owners, the property showcases an exceptional standard of materials and craftsmanship throughout, seamlessly blending characterful period features with contemporary enhancements.
The interiors are thoughtfully arranged over three floors, with two living areas providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertaining.
The kitchen and dining spaces are equally well-appointed, whilst upstairs, two large double bedrooms (one being a converted attic) provide generous accommodation, each finished to a high standard and offering stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
The floorplan is both practical and flexible, with well-proportioned rooms that cater to a variety of lifestyles, making this home perfect for couples, small families, or those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The outside space is a true highlight, presenting breath-taking views of the North Pennines National Landscape.
The current owners have thoughtfully renovated the property, with the addition of: Attic conversion in 2024 (completed with the required building regulations sign off); installation of a multi-fuel burner in the snug; addition of a bespoke made sliding barn door and internal window between the dining room and kitchen; laying of engineered wood flooring; fitting of internal oak doors; fitted wardrobes from Hammonds in bedroom 1; decoration of the living room, dining room and bedroom with William Morris wallpaper; and the installation of an oil Combi boiler in the last 5 years.
Externally, the rear garden is accessed via a double-glazed composite door with a clear pane from the rear hallway.
This private garden is beautifully maintained and offers outstanding views of the rolling North Pennines hillsides.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the garden is laid to a harmonious mix of patio stone and decking, featuring raised planters bursting with flowers, mature shrubs, and established trees.
A charming pergola sits atop a decked area, providing the perfect spot for outdoor furniture to relax and soak up the sun.
An additional decked area is ideal for displaying plant pots, raised planters, and vegetable trugs, while a greenhouse invites the keen gardener to cultivate their own produce.
Practical touches include an outside tap, outdoor power socket, and two outdoor storage cupboards (one housing the lpg cylinder that feeds the gas hob).
Off-road parking for one vehicle is conveniently located at the front of the property.
This delightful home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village life in a truly idyllic setting, with every detail carefully considered to create a welcoming and versatile living environment.
