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
Lovely stone cottage, full of period character together with spacious rooms situated in the heart of the village.
A superb five bedroom family house situated in the heart of this picture postcard village, just three miles off the A30 and five miles from the historic market town of Shaftesbury.
The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has a thriving community. It is ten minutes from Rushmore Park golf club and Sandroyd prep school.
The cottage has been imaginatively extended and improved over the years whilst retaining many original features and period charm.
A covered front porch leads into the entrance hall with stairs to first floor and door to large study with bay window to front, parquet flooring and fireplace with wood burning stove.
On the other side of the hall is the Dining Hall with quarry tiled floor and fireplace with wood burning stove and dresser to side.
This leads into the large kitchen/breakfast room with excellent range of bespoke wooden units, 5 burner gas range, dishwasher, space for American fridge/freezer, butlers sink, ceramic sink, downlighters and part tiled walls.
This leads through to the sitting room which has a light filled double aspect with French doors to the south facing garden, built in cupboards and dressers, fireplace with woodburning stove and wooden flooring.
There is a rear hall with door to side garden, a utility room with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble drier, built in cupboards and oil boiler for heating and hot water and finally a cloakroom.
On the first floor, there are five good sized bedrooms, two Victorian styled bathrooms, one of which has a large, walk-in cubicle with thermostatic shower.
Further stairs lead up to a substantial attic/playroom with restricted head height but ideal teenager space.
The property is approached through a wrought iron gate into the front garden with brick path to front door, flower beds, lawn and shrubs.
A side pedestrian path leads to the large south facing garden mainly laid to lawn with sunny brick terrace, raised flower beds and enclosed by walling and hedging.
Double gates at the rear lead into the gravelled parking area. Two garden sheds, outside lighting and water tap.
