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 substantial period home overlooking the East Looe River and countryside.
Description The Hill House, an impressive semi-detached home built in 1917, is situated in an elevated position, offering commanding views of the East Looe River and beyond.
This property retains several original features, including tall ceilings, original panelled internal doors, and a neutral décor throughout.
Ground Floor Upon entering, you'll find a vestibule leading to a beautifully floodlit entrance hall with a stunning Victorian tiled floor.
The bright sitting room boasts a floor-to-ceiling bay window, allowing you to enjoy the picturesque views of the ever-changing river.
The second reception room features sliding doors that open to the front terrace and is accented by a multifuel stove with an exposed stone surround.
At the rear of the property, the dining room includes tall alcove units. It is believed that there was an opening connecting this room to the front room, which could be easily reinstated.
The galley kitchen, overlooking the rear courtyard, offers a selection of fitted units, providing good storage.
Additionally, a convenient utility area houses appliances along with wall cupboards and a cloakroom.
First Floor The staircase, featuring a large picture window, winds upwards to the first-floor landing. The principal bedroom boasts a bay window, offering stunning elevated views.
The second and third bedrooms each have their own ensuite shower and wash basin. Additionally, there is a spacious airing cupboard, a main bathroom, and a separate cloakroom.
On the second floor there are three more bedrooms, one of which stretches the full width of the house and is currently being used as an office.
Gardens & the exterior Steps lead from the road past a southwest-facing terrace, featuring a glass and chrome surround, to the main entrance at the side of the property.
There is currently lapsed planning permission in place to install a driveway at the front, which would enhance the property's appeal and serve as a practical addition.
The rear courtyard, framed by an impressive rock face, is an ideal spot to enjoy the midday sun.
From here, steps wind up through several terraces with mature plants, including Acer and Camellias, raised flower beds, stone walls, and a convenient storage shed.
Halfway up, there is a lawned area that acts as a sun trap, offering 180-degree far-reaching views. An old pond presents a great opportunity to attract more wildlife to the garden.
There is also a useful level area that could serve as a perfect location for a home office.
At the top of the garden, a large parking area can accommodate four to five cars and can be accessed from Sunrising via Barbican Road. Local footpaths lead directly to the town.
The property has parking for approximately 4 cars. Location This delightful period property is perfectly situated within walking distance of all the amenities Looe has to offer.
