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
Description Poets Corner has the kind of character you cannot add later.
Behind the yellow front door of this traditional end terraced cottage, every room has the warmth and texture of a home with some age to it, in the quiet harbour village of Palnackie.
The living room sets the tone. One wall is bare stone, with a wood burning stove set into it beneath a heavy timber lintel, and on a winter evening this is the room you will want to be in.
Across the hall, the dining room has a feel of its own, suited to long dinners, guests or a quiet corner with a book. The kitchen is the heart of the house.
Timber units, a Belfast sink and a Rayburn give it a farmhouse feel, and the Raeburn heats the home as well as cooking for it.
French doors at the far end bring the garden in, and beyond the kitchen the sun room is an easy place to sit with a coffee and look out over the planting.
Upstairs, three bedrooms lead off the landing. The bathroom carries the cottage's character through, with panelled walls, a bath and a separate shower.
Outside, the rear garden is lawned and planted, enclosed by fencing, with a timber summerhouse at the back. It could be a studio, a workspace or simply somewhere to sit out on a summer evening.
Palnackie is a peaceful rural village with a harbour, and Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas are close by for everyday amenities.
It offers a slower pace without feeling remote, and solar panels on the roof complete the picture.
