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
Mansfield Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial residential holding with significant future potential.
Occupying a prominent plot of approximately 0.34 acres on the A41 in Higher Heath, the property comprises a four-bedroom detached bungalow set within mature gardens, woodland and extensive private parking.
A key feature is the benefit of outline planning permission for the erection of two detached dwellings (all matters reserved), Application No.

The existing bungalow offers spacious and versatile accommodation including a lounge, kitchen, utility room, conservatory, bathroom and wet room, with scope for modernisation.
Appealing to developers, investors and owner-occupiers alike, Mansfield Cottage combines immediate residential enjoyment with the opportunity to unlock future value in a highly accessible and well-connected village location.
The bungalow offers well-proportioned single-storey accommodation extending to four bedrooms together with a spacious lounge, kitchen and utility room.
A substantial conservatory enjoys attractive views over the gardens and provides additional living and entertaining space. Completing the accommodation are a family bathroom and separate wet room.
Whilst requiring modernisation, the property provides an excellent footprint with considerable scope for improvement and enhancement, allowing purchasers to tailor the accommodation to their own requirements.
The property is arranged as a detached bungalow, providing practical and versatile single-storey living ideally suited to a wide variety of purchasers, whilst the wider site offers considerable future potential through the approved development opportunity.
The grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.34 acres and incorporating mature gardens, established trees and a generous parcel of woodland that creates a surprising degree of privacy.
A large driveway provides extensive off-road parking, whilst the prominent frontage to the A41 ensures excellent accessibility. The site benefits from outline planning permission under Application No.
