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 very spacious country home offering well planned accommodation and enjoying an attractive cul-de-sac location within this highly sought after village. No onward chain.
The Property Constructed at the turn of the century April cottage forms part of a private cul-de-sac of just eight properties close to the village centre.
The property combines stone faced and rendered elevations under a traditional tiled roof with a low walled front garden which makes for a pretty cottage style façade.
The impressive dimensions and flexibility of rooms means that occupants can easily create a downstairs bedroom in the current dining room and benefit from future proofing your move.
Each room has been tastefully decorated, and the gardens have been beautifully planted for year round interest and colour.
The garage has been sub divided to provide additional storage to the rear and a garage area with electric up and over door.
Accommodation To the ground floor is an extensive sitting room with double doors leading out to the garden and an attractive fireplace with an electric easy maintenance woodburning stove-style heater for providing instant heat and a lovely focal point.
The kitchen also enjoys the same aspect and is fitted with a good range of units, along with an integral oven and an adjoining utility room with additional sink, units and space for further appliances.
There is a spacious bathroom featuring a white suite on the opposite side of the entrance hall and the separate dining room/third bedroom.
To the first floor are two excellent double bedrooms and a further bathroom. Outside The beautiful, attended gardens are a real feature to this home and have been carefully designed and planted.
