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
Fortescue Farm is situated in an idyllic location "The Byes" is close by providing a wonderful riverside walk leading directly to the town that is within three-quarters of a mile with an excellent range of independent shops and supermarkets, along with bars and restaurants.
The Esplanade which forms part of the Jurassic Coast is also easily accessible and major roads are within easy reach, providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter and the M5.
"Huge potential" is an understatement, this exciting opportunity to provide multiple homes or holiday lets and a substantial family home with a range of barns and a small grade II listed farmhouse that has planning permission to refurbish and extend (eddc planning reference 22/2821/lbc).
The total plot extends to approximately 0.551 of an acre. Viewings are strongly advised to appreciate the character of the barns and farmhouse and the potential on offer.
