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
Moss Cottage really is a little bit special!
Tucked away at the end of an unmade lane on the outskirts of Flimby and enjoying grounds approaching 1.5 acres which border a gorgeous little stream, this detached home represents something you just don't see on the market often!
The grounds include a copse, substantial lawn, a chicken run, a covered carport for camper van, a cool stream-side garden bar with patio and a quad timber garage, so that's kind of special already...
but the house doesn't disappoint.
The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen with snug, including a vaulted ceiling and double sided fireplace, plus there is a spacious living/dining room, study, utility porch, boot room, boiler room, a stunning ground floor shower room and the main bedroom.
To the first floor there are two further double bedrooms and a handy WC. This is a forever home without a doubt and somewhere really quite magical in our opinion...
