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
Where sea views and serenity meet-welcome to Blairemore. A room with a view? Try every room. With a lounge like this, you’ll never want to leave the sofa.
Lee-Ann from Low and Partners is delighted to bring to you Blairemore in Gardenstown - a characterful and spacious four-bedroom detached home spread across three floors, offering approximately 160 square metres of flexible accommodation.
Perched in a picturesque coastal setting, this unique property enjoys breathtaking views of the North Sea, blending traditional charm with modern comforts.
With oil-fired heating on the ground floor and individually controlled electric heating on the upper two levels, the home is thoughtfully configured for comfort in all seasons.
From the moment you step inside, the tiled entrance welcomes you with space for outerwear and a partially glazed door leading into the main hallway.
The entrance hallway provides access to the upper floors via a traditional staircase and also features a convenient under-stair cupboard, ideal for storage.
On the ground floor, you'll find the first of four generously sized bedrooms. This room boasts dual-aspect windows allowing natural light to flood in, a radiator, and soft ambient lighting.
A private dressing area leads through to a well-appointed en-suite, complete with a large walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin, Velux window, and tasteful lighting.
The heart of the home lies in the stylish kitchen and dining area, fitted with an aga cooker and integrated appliances including a coffee machine and oven.
Sleek cabinetry is topped with quartz worktops, offering both visual appeal and practicality. Double doors open into a boot room and adjoining boiler room, ideal for daily life in a rural setting.
The property also offers a separate utility room with cabinetry, sink, a window for natural ventilation, and ample shelving.
All white goods are included, and the tiled floor ensures both durability and ease of maintenance. A handy downstairs WC looks out to the boot room and adds further convenience.
The main bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead electric shower, wash hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail, all beneath two Velux windows that bathe the room in daylight.
Tiling throughout the floor and ceiling gives this space a crisp, clean finish.
A particularly charming feature is the spacious laundry room, fitted with a sink, generous shelving, a window for brightness, and white goods that are included in the sale.
It's a beautifully practical area that many homes can’t offer. Ascending to the main living area, the lounge is nothing short of spectacular.
Dual-aspect windows frame sensational coastal views, flooding the room with light and making this a truly tranquil haven.
The cosy stove adds warmth for chillier evenings, and there's a delightful reading alcove-a perfect perch to watch the waves roll in with a telescope or a good book in hand.
Elegant lighting, radiators, and detailed ceiling finishes complete the space beautifully.
Bedroom two is situated on this level, with a front-facing window, plush carpeting, radiator, and an unused but characterful fireplace feature.
This bedroom also enjoys a modern en-suite with a large shower, contemporary wash hand basin, WC, heated towel rail, tiled floor, and well-placed lighting.
The top landing is filled with daylight from a large window and includes a convenient storage cupboard. From here, you’ll find the remaining two bedrooms.
Bedroom three features another fireplace focal point, a beautiful bay window overlooking the front, soft carpeting underfoot, and stylish lighting.
Bedroom four is another generous double with a bay window, ample lighting, and a radiator-ideal as a guest room, home office, or tranquil retreat.
Additional features include a garage available by separate negotiation at Newground, a lovely outdoor sitooteerie perfect for alfresco dining, and convenient on-street parking.
The setting is nothing short of gorgeous, offering peace, space, and access to stunning local scenery.
The oil boiler was installed in 2014, the aga in 2019, and all the showers throughout the home are electric.
Each element-from heating to layout-has been thoughtfully planned to create a warm, functional, and charming residence.
