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 traditional Devon period cottage in need of some updating and offering plenty of potential for its next owner to make it their own.
Ideally positioned in the heart of Combe Martin, just moments from everyday amenities, the beach with one of the best sunset spots in North Devon and the breathtaking landscapes of Exmoor National Park.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, it presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or those looking for a coastal retreat.
The front door opens into a living room, a comfortable space centred around a decorative fireplace and featuring a useful built-in storage cupboard.
There is ample room for a large sofa, armchairs, coffee table and additional furniture, creating a cosy space to relax at the end of the day.
To the rear of the property is a spacious second reception room which offers excellent versatility and can comfortably accommodate a family dining table and chairs while still leaving space for additional furniture such as sideboards or display cabinets.
Exposed ceiling beams add character, while skylights and windows provide plenty of natural light.
From here, the kitchen offers a range of base and wall units, worktop space, an integrated oven, undercounter space for other appliances, with a useful utility area beyond providing additional storage, laundry space and access to the rear courtyard.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering plenty of space for a king-size bed, bedside tables, wardrobes and further bedroom furniture.
The second bedroom also provides comfortable accommodation with room for a double bed, wardrobes and drawers, making it ideal for guests, children or those working from home.
Completing the first floor is a family bathroom fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC.
Outside, while requiring some attention, the rear courtyard leads to a small elevated garden which enjoys a pleasant outlook and offers a wonderful opportunity to create an attractive outdoor seating area or cottage garden.
Combining period features, flexible living space and an enviable location close to the coast, village amenities and Exmoor National Park, this is a home with fantastic potential in one of North Devon's most sought-after coastal villages.
