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
Guide Price: £300,000 - £325,000 Spotted Heifer is a spacious three-bedroom detached home set within generous grounds, in the sought after village of Newbiggin in Bishopdale.
Enjoying lovely open views across the surrounding fields, this property offers excellent potential for modernisation and improvement, with well-proportioned accommodation including three double bedrooms, a generous lounge, kitchen/diner, conservatory, ground floor shower room and house bathroom.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall leading to a generous lounge, with a separate kitchen/diner providing a good-sized family and dining space.
A ground floor shower room and conservatory complete the ground floor. To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms together with the house bathroom.
Externally, the property sits within generous, well-established grounds, with a large garden predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature shrubs, established bushes and a selection of established fruit trees.
A stone-flagged patio provides a lovely area for outdoor seating and entertaining, while the garden enjoys pleasant open views across the surrounding fields.
The property also benefits from a greenhouse and large timber-framed garage, providing useful additional storage and workshop space.
Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating, with an external Grant boiler.
The property would benefit from a comprehensive programme of modernisation, including the replacement of the existing kitchen and bathrooms.
The current timber-framed windows would also benefit from updating, and the conservatory would require refurbishment.
For those looking for a detached home with generous grounds and the opportunity to put their own stamp on a property, this could offer an exciting project.
