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
The property Set in an enviable position on the edge of a popular village just north of Exeter, this attractive home enjoys a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with the surrounding countryside.
With far-reaching rural views extending across the surrounding fields to the rear and side, the setting is undoubtedly one of the property's most compelling features, offering a peaceful backdrop that can be enjoyed from a number of rooms and outdoor areas.
The house itself is bright, welcoming and well proportioned, offering two good-sized reception rooms alongside a generous kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the garden.
The existing accommodation provides a comfortable and practical home as it stands, with good flexibility for modern family living and plenty of scope for new owners to introduce their own style, improvements and personality over time.
It is the exceptionally generous plot, however, that makes this property particularly exciting.
The ground floor has already been extended, while the substantial side and rear gardens provide genuine potential, subject to the necessary consents, to further enlarge the accommodation.
A carefully considered extension could create additional living and bedroom space, while the property's position would allow a future design to make the very most of those outstanding countryside views and the impressive amount of land available.
With ample parking and a substantial double garage to the front, there is also excellent practical provision for families, hobbies or additional storage.
This is a rare opportunity for a family or professional couple with the vision to create something truly exceptional, combining an appealing existing home with significant future potential in a beautiful and highly desirable village setting.

History Did you know? There are no cannons behind Stoke Canon's name! The “Canon” refers to the Canons of Exeter Cathedral - members of the cathedral clergy who helped oversee its religious life.
Stoke Canon was historically connected with these canons, giving the village its distinctive name. So, while it sounds military, its origins are actually much more peaceful!
