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
Manna Cottage is a characterful detached family home set along a desirable tree-lined avenue in the sought-after suburb of Stoneygate.
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.14 acres, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, with excellent scope for extension subject to the necessary planning permissions.
An attractive open storm porch leads into a striking entrance hallway, rich in character with its original exposed wooden flooring and leaded windows creating an immediate sense of warmth and charm.
The ground floor provides a selection of spacious and versatile living areas.
There are two generous reception rooms, including a formal dining room enhanced by a walk-in bay window that floods the space with natural light.
This room is further complemented by a traditional cast iron gas fire and fitted cabinetry.
To the rear, a substantial lounge is centred around a gas fire with a marble backdrop and hearth, framed by an ornate wooden surround.
Large sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The breakfast kitchen is well-appointed with a comprehensive range of fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a multi-fuel range-style cooker.
This flows through to a breakfast room and an additional sitting area beyond, both enjoying views over the garden and access via sliding patio doors - creating an ideal sociable space for informal dining and everyday living.
The ground floor is completed by a guest cloakroom with WC, while a covered rear porch provides convenient access to the single garage.
To the first floor, there are five well proportioned bedrooms, four of which benefit front fitted wardrobes, including a principal bedroom with an ensuite shower and wash basin.
In addition, there is a refitted modern family bathroom that includes a bath and a walk-in shower.
Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking and access to the single garage.
The established rear garden offers a private and tranquil outdoor space, mainly laid to lawn with mature borders and specimen trees, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
Manna Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming family home in a prime residential location, with further potential to enhance and extend.
