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
Situated in an elevated position at the head of The Common, this detached cottage-style residence dates back to the early 1900s and offers a substantial 1,698 sq. ft. of living space.
The property is full of character, featuring prominent dark wood ceiling beams and textured plasterwork throughout the primary reception rooms.
While it requires modernisation, the home’s layout is generous and versatile.
The ground floor begins with a large entrance porch and a kitchen that retains a rustic feel with slate-style flooring and a brick-built cooking range.
This leads into a formal dining room and a sprawling lounge, which is centred around a large brick fireplace with a log-burning stove.
The ground floor is further extended by a garden room and a separate sunroom, both of which provide direct access to the rear gardens. The first floor continues the theme of space and character.
The master bedroom is particularly impressive, spanning over 14 feet in length and featuring a full wall of integrated wardrobes.
Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper level.
Outside, the property is set back behind a gated driveway that provides ample off-road parking and leads to a large integral garage.
To the rear, the mature garden offers a private, enclosed retreat with established borders, gravelled pathways, and a pond.
Barwell provides an ideal setting for families, with local schooling including Barwell Academy and Newlands Community Primary School within easy reach.
The village centre offers a range of independent shops, a Co-op, and traditional pubs, ensuring daily essentials are close at hand.
