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.

A magnificent Gothic Revival masterpiece, with a charming two-storey cottage and timeless period grandeur.
Description Set within a magical walled garden (80ft x 70ft) in a hidden location within the historic Kingsdown: A gorgeous Gothic revival style grade II listed Victorian period family house with additional two-storey cottage (presently utilised as a short-term rental with projected income of at least £31,000 per annum) and separate outbuilding.
Built circa 1860, with the main house offering 5 double bedroom, 3 reception room, 3 bath/shower room accommodation which is beautifully balanced and generously proportioned retaining an abundance of classical period features.

The house is unquestionably one the best imaginable for parties and socialising with a natural flow and pull from within to the lush and profusely stocked garden.
During their stewardship the owners have planted hundreds of plants, shrubs and trees to ensure colour and scent from March right through until November.
To name but a small selection these include tulips, daffodils, hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums, lupins, salvias, cistus, irises, fruit trees (pear, apple and plum) and a wisteria.
There are multiple sitting out areas from which to enjoy the varying outlooks and a useful outbuilding.
