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
“A period home with a barn… because sometimes one house just isn’t enough.” Located on the ever-popular Church Street in Buckden, this charming and deceptively spacious four-bedroom home blends period character with thoughtful modern upgrades—perfect for buyers looking for something with personality and practicality in equal measure.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall (2.85m x 2.62m / 9'4" x 8'7"), providing access to the principal reception rooms and a generously sized downstairs WC, complete with a new Worcester Bosch boiler installed in October 2025.
The lounge (5.24m x 4.64m / 17'2" x 15'3") is a cosy yet stylish space, featuring herringbone flooring, bespoke built-in storage, and a feature fireplace.
Kloeber bifold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor feel.
The dining room (6.14m x 2.62m / 20'2" x 8'7") is equally impressive, boasting porcelain flooring, underfloor heating, plantation shutters, and ample space for a large dining table—ideal for entertaining.
At the heart of the home sits a beautifully finished kitchen/breakfast room (5.24m x 2.51m / 17'2" x 8'3"), complete with quartz Silestone worktops, Neff appliances (including hide-and-slide oven and gas hob), Bosch dishwasher, integrated washing machine, stone sink, and a charming pantry/ladder cupboard.
The reclaimed stone flooring adds to the overall character, while Kloeber French doors provide direct access to the garden. Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms.
Bedroom one (4.33m x 3.11m / 14'2" x 10'2") is a standout, featuring an original fireplace, bespoke fitted wardrobes, and a spacious en-suite (3.46m max x 3.19m / 11'4" x 10'5") with walk-in shower, large sink, and heated towel rail.
Bedroom two (3.48m x 3.48m / 11'5" x 11'5") is a large front-facing double with built-in wardrobe.
Bedroom three (3.24m x 2.65m / 10'8" x 8'8") overlooks the garden and offers a comfortable double layout.
Bedroom four (3.64m x 2.08m / 11'11" x 6'10"), currently used as a study, is a light and versatile room with additional storage.
A well-appointed family bathroom (2.53m x 2.41m / 8'4" x 7'11") serves the remaining bedrooms, complete with shower over bath, basin, and WC.
Barn / Outbuilding A real standout feature is the timber-framed two-storey barn (approx. 55.7 sq.m / 599 sq.ft) offering exceptional versatility.
Ground floor store/workshop (4.54m x 3.40m / 14'11" x 11'2") and additional store room (3.46m x 3.40m / 11'4" x 11'2") First floor hobby room (3.48m x 3.46m / 11'5" x 11'4") First floor office/store (3.56m x 3.48m / 11'8" x 11'5") All areas benefit from light and power, making this ideal for home working, a studio, or potential conversion (subject to requirements).
Outside The property truly excels externally, with a beautifully landscaped south-facing walled garden designed in a cottage style.
It features mature planting, including apple trees and two established wisterias, creating a private and picturesque setting. A large patio provides ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
To the front/rear, the property also benefits from a gated driveway providing parking for two vehicles, with potential for electrification, alongside an electric car charger.
