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.

Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility area and a ground floor shower room, adding further practicality to the accommodation.
The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks over the surrounding gardens.
The principal bedroom is dual aspect and flooded with natural light, whilst the second benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Stairs continue to a useful loft room, providing an ideal space for a home office, hobby room or storage, subject to a purchaser's individual requirements. Outside, the property continues to impress.
Heatherwells Cottages, named for the water well that still stands today, adds a nice touch and a nod to the property's history.
