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
Known locally as The Old School House and dating back to 1843, this impressive and distinctive property occupies a fabulous, highly prominent position as you head up Joss Lane towards Fairholme.
Set within an exceptionally generous plot, the property enjoys beautiful, far-reaching views of the fells to the front and the Howgills to the rear, creating a truly picturesque and sought-after setting.
The property comprises a mixed-use building, combining retail/showroom space with workshop accommodation, alongside an adjoining three-bedroom residential unit.
In total, the accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering a rare blend of commercial and residential flexibility.
The commercial element is arranged over ground and first floor levels, together with a useful storage void.
Accessed directly from Joss Lane, the ground floor provides a spacious retail/showroom area, currently divided into two well-defined spaces, along with staff welfare facilities and additional storage.
A staircase leads to the first floor, which offers an impressive open-plan workshop featuring attractive exposed beams and enjoying stunning views from every aspect.
The residential accommodation is arranged across all three floors and comprises three double bedrooms (one with en-suite), a generous open-plan living and dining area, kitchen, family bathroom, and a ground floor WC.
The property also benefits from a wash/utility room and a useful single garage, providing comfortable and versatile living space alongside the commercial premises.
Externally, the property benefits from a large car park and garden areas to the front and sides, offering excellent potential for further development or enhancement, subject to the necessary planning consents.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful property on a sizeable plot in a desirable location.
The property is ideally suited for a live/work arrangement or redevelopment, subject to the relevant consents, and offers the potential to create one of the most exceptional settings in Sedbergh.
