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 unique opportunity; a completely modernised detached six bedroom house, nestled within the woodland of The Golden Valley (National Trust).
Enjoying a secure plot of half an acre with a mature woodland outlook. Offered with no onward chain. HAVE YOU SEEN THE PROPERTY VIDEO?
Situated on a rural road meandering through woodland linking two charming villages, Bracken House enjoys a tucked away and private position whilst only being a few minutes’ drive from village amenities.
The house has been completely transformed; being almost entirely rebuilt in 2019 by a local builder of excellent repute, Red Rock, to create the vision of the home the current owners dreamed of.
The quality of build and fitting is evident throughout as well as a feeling of spaciousness and luxury.
Beyond the gated entrance you are greeted by a substantial driveway offering parking and turning for numerous vehicles in addition to a detached double garage, which has an EV charge point within and generous roof storage.
Steps from the drive lead down to a welcoming porcelain tiled paved terrace to the front and side of the house, and to the front door. This itself opens into a wonderful part vaulted entrance hall.
From the moment you step through the front door you get to appreciate underfloor heating which extends throughout the ground floor.
To the front of the house sits a formal double aspect sitting room, and to the side is a delightful study/library.
Tucked between the two is a useful cloakroom with easy access to a plant room cupboard.
Extending across the rear is a breathtaking open plan kitchen/dining room/family lounge with stunning views onto the garden and woodland beyond.
The double aspect dining/family area provides a flexible space, currently accommodating a 3m long dining table! A bank of bifold doors provide an almost panoramic view over the gardens.
Amtico flooring extends into the kitchen area, which is fitted with a luxury range of drawer and cupboard storage, including a central island, topped with Corian worksurfaces.
There are quality integrated appliances including double oven, induction hob, Teppanyaki hot plate, dishwasher, wine fridge and bin store. This is complemented by a walk in larder.
When the chef requires a break from creating culinary masterpieces there is a charming bench seat under the window; the perfect spot for a brew while spotting birds or wildlife in the garden.
A separate utility room completes the ground floor accommodation. Stairs lead up to a spacious 1st floor landing with an attractive and stylish Neville Johnson balustrade.
The master bedroom is exceptional; being a spacious double with French doors opening onto a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden and woodland beyond, with a full wall of built in wardrobes and a luxury en suite featuring walk in shower and Japanese bathing tub with integrated jets and lights.
There are five further generous and well appointed bedrooms, bedroom two also benefitting from a Julitte balcony overlooking the garden.
These bedrooms share a family bathroom and a separate family shower room; flexible and versatile provision, although the shower room could easily become an en suite for bedroom two.
The house sits in a plot of half an acre, which has been deer proofed throughout.
The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with formal flower beds flanking a substantial porcelain tiled patio area adjacent to the house. All of which enjoys lovely rural views over the adjoining woodland.
