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
Discreetly positioned on the prestigious Upper Guildown Road, 3 Littleholme is a delightful and characterful home that truly embodies the word charm.
Approached via a gently winding, leafy pathway, the property feels wonderfully private from the outset, creating a sense of calm and retreat.
Littleholme is a Grade II listed house designed by the noted Arts and Crafts architect C. F. A. Voysey and built in 1906. The property was later divided into three separate dwellings, with No.
3 being substantially rebuilt in 2008 to provide modern standards of accommodation while respecting the character of the original building.
Inside, the property is filled with abundant natural light throughout. The accommodation flows beautifully and has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise comfort and usability.
The kitchen sits naturally alongside the dining room, forming a sociable and well-connected space ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike.
Oak flooring enhances the generously sized living room, creating a warm and welcoming space for entertaining.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, complemented by a well-appointed en suite bathroom, offering both privacy and practicality.
On the lower ground floor, a superb office adds excellent versatility.
Ideal for those working from home, this space could equally function as a family room, a snug, or, subject to the usual planning consents, as potential additional accommodation with an en suite for guests, allowing the property to adapt easily to changing needs.
Altogether, 3 Littleholme offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully light, adaptable, and genuinely charming home in a truly secluded yet convenient setting.
Gardens and grounds The gardens and grounds perfectly complement the home's secluded setting and ease of living.
A private off-street parking space is conveniently positioned with straightforward access to the front door, an invaluable feature in such an elevated and peaceful location.
The property also enjoys a delightful south-facing paved terrace, offering a wonderfully private outdoor space that is both attractive and easily maintained.
Bathed in sunlight throughout the day, this provides an ideal setting for relaxing or dining outdoors.
From here, the property enjoys superb elevated views across the surrounding landscape, which change beautifully with the seasons.
