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 quintessential 'chocolate box' four-bedroom (three en-suite) Grade II listed thatched cottage, The Old Convent is believed to date from the 17th century.
Extending to over 2,200 sq ft, the property seamlessly blends period character with practical modern living.
The main residence retains a wealth of original features, including exposed timbers and studwork, inglenook fireplaces, and Suffolk latch doors, while a sympathetic two-storey rear extension provides additional living space, perfectly suited to a contemporary family lifestyle.
Adjacent to the main house is a self-contained annexe, comprising a bedroom and living space, offering the potential for independent use as a full-time rental, holiday let, or ancillary accommodation, subject to planning consents.
Accommodation & Character The Old Convent exudes period charm throughout, with a range of reception areas designed for both formal and informal living.
Traditional fireplaces, exposed ceiling beams, and studwork create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with matching wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a dual-aspect layout that allows natural light to flood the space.
The accommodation is exceptionally versatile, providing generous space for family life, entertaining, and quiet retreats.
The four bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, are generously proportioned and retain the character of the property, complemented by a family bathroom.
The annexe offers a self-contained space with living, kitchen, bedroom, and wet room facilities, providing additional flexibility for guests, rental income, or extended family living.
Outside Space Set within approximately 0.2 acres, the property benefits from an in-and-out driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and a tandem-length garage.
The west-facing gardens are particularly striking, featuring mature trees, established hedging, flower borders, a timber-framed greenhouse, and an external store.
From the gardens, uninterrupted views stretch across gently undulating paddocks, creating a peaceful and private setting.
