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
Set within open countryside on the edge of the well-regarded village of Holton St Mary, this attractive link-detached home offers a wonderful balance of rural charm and modern day living.
Enjoying a generous plot with far-reaching field views, the property provides light-filled, well-proportioned accommodation and a welcoming feel throughout, ideal for both everyday family life and relaxed entertaining.
To the front, a generous gravel driveway provides ample parking and access to the garage, framed by mature planting that softens the approach and adds colour throughout the seasons.
Once inside, the ground floor is thoughtfully laid out, offering a balance of comfort and practicality.
A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a well-proportioned living room, where a central fireplace provides a natural focal point.
Large windows on two sides bring in plenty of light, creating a bright and inviting space suited to both quiet evenings and entertaining.
To the rear, the triple aspect kitchen/dining/garden room serves as the main hub of the home.
Fitted with a range of classic units and centred around a substantial island, it provides generous workspace alongside an easy flow into the dining and seating areas.
The adjoining garden room, with its wide windows, draws in natural light and offers an appealing spot to sit and unwind while enjoying views over the garden.
A separate utility room keeps practical tasks out of sight, with additional storage and direct access outside, while a cloakroom adds further convenience to the ground floor layout.
The first floor continues the home’s sense of light and space, with well-proportioned rooms arranged off a central landing.
The main bedroom is a generous and inviting room, enjoying a pleasant outlook and the benefit of an ensuite shower room.
Three further bedrooms, served by the family bathroom, offer flexibility for use by family, guests, or those working from home, depending on requirements.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged, with a paved terrace directly off the house creating an ideal spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond this, a neatly kept lawn is bordered by established shrubs and planting, offering a good degree of enclosure without losing the open feel of the setting.
