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
A smartly presented, extended 3/4 bed family home boasting a wealth of flexible accommodation, garage with off-road parking, substantial home office, and south-facing, rural views.
5 East Street occupies a favourable position in the highly sought-after village of Drayton.
The property offers a huge amount of flexibility as either a 3-bed family home with three reception rooms, or even utilising one room as a downstairs bedroom with bathroom conversion potential.
The property is accessed from the front through a small but handy porch, leading into the entrance hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor.
A large room off the hallway offers an ideal tertiary reception space, or as a double bedroom.
The adjacent study offers the ideal conversion into a downstairs bathroom in conjunction with the bedroom, but equally offers an ideal study/craft space.
Beyond the hall, in the centre of the house, is the sitting room; carpeted and featuring a fireplace with oak mantle and woodburning stove inset, with shelving to one side.
To the rear of the property is the impressive family/garden/dining room extension, laid with engineered oak flooring and with two sets of patio doors and a pair of skylights creating a fantastically bright and airy room.
This links the sitting room to the kitchen, creating a semi open-plan layout for the main reception spaces.
The kitchen itself enjoys underfloor heating and is fitted with a smart range of wall and base units with solid wood worktops and upstands over, large electric range with 5-ring hob, space for a dishwasher, and a one-and-a-half sink with drainer.
The kitchen leads out to the utility room, fitted with matching units, with space for a washing machine, tumble-drier, and fridge/freezer, in addition to side access offering an alternate route into the property from the front.
Completing the downstairs accommodation off the utility is a handy cloakroom with WC and hand basin. Upstairs are three bedrooms; two doubles and a large single.
All three bedrooms are carpeted and feature some built-in storage, with bedroom one boasting two cupboards and, along with bedroom two, enjoy far reaching vies over the countryside to the south.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and hand basin within vanity unit.
Outside The property boasts a good sized plot with an attractive, south-facing garden which overlooks neighbouring fields.
The majority of the fully enclosed rear garden is laid to lawn to the left hand side, with some established planting and small trees.
A path runs through the middle of the garden which leads out to a parking area at the rear of the property.
To the right hand side of the path is a gardeners area with a few small raised beds and a greenhouse, whilst in front of that is a patio ideal for al-fresco dining with views over the countryside.
Adjacent to the house is a superb timber clad outbuilding which consists of a garage with power, lighting, and an up-and-over door, a cosy craft room, and a sizeable home office.
Fully insulated and with glazed patio doors leading out to the garden, the office is a fantastic addition to the property, again offering flexible use.
To the front of the property is an area of lawn with some established planting, in addition to a drive sufficient for at least three vehicles.
Situation 5 East Street is located in the much favoured South Somerset village of Drayton, the majority of which is designated as a Conservation Area in order to preserve its character and the many fine period properties of various styles.
The village has a parish church, a popular inn, and a village hall, where there is a strong community presence with various organisations and events.
The neighbouring village of Curry Rivel also features a convenience store, petrol station, garage, church, play parks, and hugely popular gastropub.
