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
Georgian Coastal Townhouse With Sea Views & Three‐Level Outbuilding This beautifully presented three‐storey Georgian townhouse sits in the heart of Gardenstown’s historic lower village, surrounded by stone cottages, winding lanes and the sound of the sea at the end of the street.
With its handsome stone frontage, dormer windows and blue doors, it’s the kind of home people pause in front of and imagine themselves living in.
Inside, the house is warm, stylish and full of character, offering generous space for family life, visiting guests, creative work and quiet moments overlooking the water.
The lounge is a welcoming, traditional room centred around a multi‐fuel stove set into the original stone chimney breast.
Soft grey décor, period lighting and a large window create a calm, comfortable space to unwind.
The dining kitchen is bright and homely, with cream cabinetry, timber worktops, a Belfast sink and a range cooker.
A built‐in dining nook sits by the window, making this a wonderfully social and atmospheric room with excellent natural light.
The top floor offers two charming bedrooms, each with its own personality.
One enjoys elevated views over the rooftops to the harbour wall and open sea, while the second features modern fitted storage and a crisp, contemporary finish.
A fresh, bright bathroom with timber panelling completes the upper level. The lower ground level is practical and well connected, linking the bedrooms, shower room and utility area.
Blue carpeting and navy‐and‐white walls give the space a clean coastal feel, enhanced by distinctive stained‐glass pendant lighting.
The built‐in laundry zone sits neatly to the side with appliances, countertop and organised shelving. Two lower‐ground bedrooms are finished in fresh white décor with neutral carpeting.
One benefits from frosted glass panels that bring in soft natural light and includes an open wardrobe with excellent storage.
The second has a large window and bold red tones, offering strong natural light and flexible use.
The shower room features a high‐spec multi‐jet enclosure with digital controls and curved glass doors, set against fresh white walls and grey panelling.
Outside, the private garden is a rare find in the lower village, offering a peaceful coastal outlook towards open sea and headland.
Arranged in lawn, planting and fencing, with a sheltered patio beside the house, it’s an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets or weekend relaxation.
A standout feature of this property is the detached three‐level outbuilding - exceptionally rare in Gardenstown’s lower village.
The workshop level provides a practical space with timber flooring, exposed beams and good natural light.
The middle level offers further storage or hobby space, while the upper level enjoys a bright outlook towards the sea, creating a flexible area full of potential.
Living in Gardenstown Gardenstown is one of the north‐east’s most distinctive coastal villages - a place where life moves at a calmer pace and the sea is part of the everyday backdrop.
The lower village sits right against the shoreline, with winding lanes, traditional cottages and a close community feel.
Residents enjoy easy access to the harbour, shoreline walks, the clifftop paths towards Crovie and Troup Head, and a setting that feels peaceful without being remote.
