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
This characterful and charming home is believed to date from the 18th century and is formally the home of the housekeeper to the Chequers Estate and once the milking parlour to Whiteleaf House.
Its numerous period features include ornate fascias and stained glass insets to the windows.
Beautifully situated in the village of Whiteleaf, with The Ridgeway path close by and Whiteleaf Cross above, this attractive home features a bay fronted sitting room and dining room separated by a double sided open fireplace, an additional reception room to the front which could easily be used as a study or family room and a pine fitted kitchen/breakfast room with utility to the rear and downstairs cloakroom.
With the benefit of a conservatory opening from the family room this provides a delightful additional reception space and covered access to the garage and adjoining car port.
On the first floor are three generous bedrooms, the largest with built in wardrobes, and a generous bathroom.
The attic space above provides conversion potential (subject to planning permission) and is of very good size. To the rear a charming and private enclosed rear garden with store.
The property benefits from off street parking to the front covered by a carport and a garage.
Whiteleaf is situated on the edge of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an area of Green Belt.
Approximately 1 mile East of Princes Risborough, itself a favoured location with a range of daily shops and leisure facilities including a Tesco supermarket and Marks & Spencer food hall.
The nearest primary schools are in Monks Risborough and Great Kimble which are both highly regarded whilst Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling, both state and private, as the county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system.

Princes Risborough provides more extensive shopping and recreational facilities whilst M40 (J4) is within 8 miles.
Princes Risborough station provides a main line rail service to London (Marylebone - 35 minutes), Birmingham and now Oxford.
The area provides excellent local walks and cycling, both on and off road, is very popular. There are several golf courses in the area and equestrian pursuits are also very well catered for.
The nearby public house, The Red Lion, provides excellent local food and is situated in the centre of the village, whilst more extensive facilities are available in Princes Risborough with its variety of restaurants, Duke’s wine bar and several public houses.
