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
The Manse is one of those homes with a certain character and charm that becomes immediately apparent the moment you step inside. The property is offered to the market free of an onward chain.
A beautifully renovated period residence dating back to around 1780, the property occupies a prominent yet peaceful position within the heart of Brigstock’s conservation area and was formerly the Manse to the United Reformed Chapel.
Having undergone an extensive programme of renovation and improvement, the home now offers an exceptional opportunity for a turnkey family residence, or equally an ideal weekend retreat for those based in the city.
Offering four double bedrooms and a variety of elegant reception rooms, the property combines high ceilings, large sash windows, fireplaces, parquet flooring, and beautifully proportioned spaces to create a home of genuine warmth and character, while thoughtful modernisation has made it exceptionally well suited to everyday living.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,780 sq. ft. and is arranged across two floors.
The ground floor centres around an impressive entrance hall, giving access to a series of versatile reception rooms.
To the front of the property are both the lounge and formal dining room, each enjoying abundant natural light through large sash windows.
To the rear, the home office/snug offers great flexibility as an additional reception room, flowing through into the garden room with double doors opening onto the private walled garden.
Each room within the property enjoys an attractive outlook, while the home’s positioning allows for natural light throughout the day.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully refitted and finished with bespoke cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, underfloor heating, and a range-style cooker.
A useful ground floor shower room/WC completes the accommodation. Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four double bedrooms.
Two of the front bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the principal bedroom to the rear enjoys fitted storage and a pleasant outlook across the garden.
The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home gym and would work equally well as a bedroom.
A large boarded attic space is also accessed from the first floor, providing excellent additional storage and potential for further use, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside The property is set back from Mill Lane behind an attractive wisteria-clad frontage.
To the rear there is a gravelled parking area providing off-road parking, together with an electric vehicle charging point.
