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 handsome five-bedroom detached Cotswold stone home, cherished by the same family for over 40 years, enjoying far-reaching valley views, mature gardens, generous accommodation and outstanding potential in the heart of the sought-after village of France Lynch.
Description - Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of France Lynch, May Dew is a quintessential detached Cotswold stone home enjoying an enviable setting with views across the valley, beautifully mature gardens and a wonderful sense of peace and privacy.
Occupying a generous plot and held within the same family for more than 40 years, this much-loved home presents a rare opportunity to restore and enhance a property of genuine character, creating an exceptional country residence in one of the Cotswolds' most desirable village locations.
Steeped in charm, the accommodation unfolds over three floors, with a layout that has evolved over time to suit family life.
The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the dining room, where a staircase rises to the first floor, while the kitchen is positioned to the rear and is complemented by a practical utility room.
The spacious sitting room provides an inviting space in which to relax, enjoying an abundance of natural light and lovely views over the gardens.
A second staircase rises from the sitting room, adding to the home's unique character, while beyond lies a useful boot room with direct access to the garden and an adjoining ground floor shower room, ideal for those returning from countryside walks.
The upper floors provide generous and flexible accommodation.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a family bathroom, while the second floor provides two further bedrooms, creating ideal spaces for older children, guests, or those seeking a dedicated home office.
Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight.
Predominantly laid to lawn and framed by established trees, mature shrubs and seasonal planting, they offer an idyllic setting for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
A collection of useful outbuildings, including a potting shed, garden store and log store, add practicality while complementing the property's country appeal.
Combining timeless Cotswold character, an outstanding village setting and exceptional scope to modernise and personalise, May Dew offers a rare chance to create a truly special family home that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
