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
Welcome to Pool House Farm: A truly unique proposition to acquire a detached 3/4 bedroom farmhouse desirably located on Hob Lane.
Requiring complete refurbishment right the way through, the purchaser will look to benefit from an existing footprint of circa 1500 square feet with a huge amount of potential to extend and enhance, subject to the relevant permission(s).
The opportunity, in brief, comprises: Approach: Pool House Farm is located on the outskirts of Balsall Common, on Hob Lane, with a CV8 postcode.
The access road is appealing and shared only with the neighbouring two barns and livery centre, which will remain in situ.
The plot currently houses parking for two vehicles but could easily be extended to accommodate more vehicles.
The approach to the front door itself is via a large front garden which wraps right the way around the home.
Upon entry: Living Room: You are first greeted with a spacious living room with all accommodation sprawling out in front of you. The living room itself affords space for furniture, storage and media.
To your right: Study / 4th Bedroom: With potential to be a further reception room, a good size with a window to the front allowing in lots of natural light.
Kitchen / Diner: Currently comprising a fitted gas hob with cooker, storage, worktops and a space for dining.
Just off the kitchen through a private door and up a set of stairs also takes you up to some full height attic storage (photo 12).
Currently empty but could certainly be converted into habitable space to further service the home.
Back through to the lounge and up the stairs takes you up to the first floor accommodation, comprising: Bedroom 1: A lovely dual aspect principal bedroom enjoying rural views of the surrounding countryside, with characteristic beams and space for wardrobes.
Bedroom 2: A further great sized double bedroom. Bedroom 3: A third bedroom but by no means a box room, still affording space for a double bed if required.
Family Bathroom: A three piece suite bathroom with toilet, sink and shower over bath.
Externally: The plot size is an attractive proposition in itself and there is further access into a boiler room with a W/C within.
There is also a dilapidated outbuilding which would be ripe for redevelopment, once again subject to relevant permission(s).
The current fence line will be brought in slightly (as per the drone photo outline provided to be used as a guide) to afford a wider access to the riding school beyond.
Despite the level of works required throughout, the property is in a habitable state and we would recommend interested parties to come and view to see what the property has to offer.
The property is being sold with the benefit of no onward chain and viewings are available immediately. Quote reference JK1260 on enquiry.
