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
Sold with no onward chain, this wonderfully individual Grade II Listed semi-detached cottage occupies an enviable position directly overlooking the village green in the heart of Wooburn Green.
Homes in this setting rarely come to the market, and this particularly charming property offers a wonderful combination of period character, flexible living space, three double bedrooms and, most unusually for a home around the Green, a private double garage with a driveway and additional off road parking for two cars.
Stepping inside, Spicers Cottage immediately reveals its personality, with a wealth of original character and beautifully varied accommodation arranged over split levels.
The principal reception space is particularly impressive, incorporating two open fireplaces, including a magnificent inglenook with original bread oven inside and outside, creating a wonderfully warm and atmospheric focal point and with beautiful wooden beams on the ceiling.
The generous reception area offers a series of flexible zones, providing the opportunity to create distinct areas for formal dining, comfortable everyday sitting, playroom or family space and a home office, depending upon individual requirements.
The versatility of this space makes the house equally suited to relaxed family living or entertaining.
The accommodation continues with three well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and downstairs cloakroom.
The split-level arrangement and differing ceiling heights add considerably to the character and individuality of the property, creating a home that feels quite unlike a conventional modern house.
Outside, the property enjoys one of its most significant and unusual advantages.
A driveway to the rear leads to a detached double garage, one of only a handful of properties around Wooburn Green to benefit from such a facility.
The garage also has a vaulted roof and internal staircase leading to the substantial space above, offering exciting potential for those looking to create a dedicated home office, studio, gym or hobby room, subject of course to the necessary consents.
The front garden is substantial, private and fully enclosed with high hedge borders and secure with gates to the front and back so the pets and children can't get out!
The front is predominantly laid to lawn with with a large par area to capture the evening sun as it sets to the west.
Gated side access leads to the rear garden which also has a large level lawn area which used to be a swimming pool and a garden pond remains to the side of the house, plus its own fabulous characterful well!
To the rear of the garden is quite a new summer house shed perfect as a garden reading nook and all around the rear and other side of the property is a large patio area on two levels with timber fence borders and fruit trees.
The location is quite exceptional.
The village green is quite literally on the doorstep, with its open outlook providing a wonderful sense of space and a picturesque setting that is rarely available so close to everyday amenities.
Wooburn Green offers an impressive range of facilities within a few moments' walk, including a doctor's surgery, dentist, pharmacy, beauticians, barbers and hairdressers, dog groomers, café, bakery, Tesco Express, restaurants and traditional pubs.
It is difficult to imagine a more convenient village lifestyle.
Despite its central position, the house retains an unmistakable sense of home, with the Green providing a beautiful outlook from the property and an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons.
This is a truly special and highly individual home, combining period character, an exceptional village setting, flexible accommodation and remarkably good parking and garaging.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, versatility and potential this rare property has to offer.
