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
Dating back to the 18th century, this attractive semi-detached cottage offers a pleasing combination of period character, modern improvements and flexible accommodation.
Set within an established plot with a generous lawned garden and off-road parking for several vehicles, the property provides an appealing home for those seeking the charm of a character cottage without compromising on everyday practicality.
The front door opens directly into the gorgeous triple-aspect sitting room, which is a particular highlight of the home.
Exposed beams and a wood-burning stove add considerable warmth and character, while the three aspects allow natural light to flow throughout the room, creating an inviting space in which to relax and entertain.
The ground floor also benefits from a flexible reception room, currently arranged as a bedroom but equally suited to use as a dining room, snug, home office or study, depending on the requirements of the next owner.
The kitchen has been newly fitted and combines a traditional cottage-style Shaker design with modern convenience, incorporating a range of wall and base-level units, integrated oven and hob & breakfast bar.
There is space and plumbing for a washing machine under the stairs. Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted cupboards.
The principal bedroom is especially impressive, offering a wonderful sense of space, high ceilings and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom is also well proportioned and is served by a beautifully refitted family bathroom, which has been fully tiled and finished in a contemporary style.
Outside, the property enjoys a sizeable garden, mainly laid to lawn with established borders and attractive planted areas, providing plenty of space for outdoor seating, children's play or simply enjoying the surroundings.
Off-road parking for several vehicles is another notable advantage. The property also benefits from a newly installed electric central heating system.
Overall, this is a characterful and adaptable period cottage, combining original features with a newly fitted kitchen and updated bathrooms, while offering flexible accommodation, excellent bedroom proportions and a generous garden with ample parking.
