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 PROPERTY. White Lodge comprises a well-proportioned detached residence which is located in a spectacular, private position in the quintessential fishing village of Beer.
It sits in an elevated position gaining outstanding sea, coastal and village views which can be enjoyed from both the house and gardens, as well as the superb balcony on the easterly elevation which makes the very most of its incredible position.
The property is conveniently located within a short walk of the village and has direct access to the South West Coastal Path and some picturesque walks over this dramatic stretch of coastline.
The property itself was built in the latter part of the 1900s and is of traditional construction with principally rendered elevations under a tiled roof.
It has a well-presented interior which has been enhanced and improved over the 17 years of the current owners stewardship and there are some delightful features such as the oak floors, oak staircase, wood burning stove to the sitting room and two sets of bifold doors onto the balcony.
White Lodge has three double bedrooms to the lower ground floor, the principal of which has a large modern en-suite bathroom, along with a well-fitted family bathroom.
There is also a study on the ground floor which could become a fourth bedroom if required.
The property benefits from a well-appointed kitchen with a good range of units under granite worktops and a handy utility/boot room with a door to the side. GARDENS & GROUNDS.
