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
Cornerstone Cottage is an attractive detached village home, built in 2005 in a traditional style with handsome honey-coloured Ham stone elevations, occupying a prominent position within the Ansford Conservation Area and within easy reach of Castle Cary's excellent amenities and mainline railway station.
Constructed to complement its historic surroundings, the property successfully combines the character and appearance of a traditional Somerset home with the practicality and comfort of modern living.
Extending to approximately 1,140 sq ft, the accommodation is both well proportioned and light-filled, arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom and a striking galleried landing featuring a large arched window.
The sitting room is an impressive dual-aspect reception room extending to over 19 feet in length and centred around a feature fireplace, creating a comfortable space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Equally generous is the kitchen/dining room, which provides ample space for cooking, dining and socialising, with direct access to the courtyard garden.
On the first floor, the spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, together with a family bathroom.
There is a useful loft area, perfect for storage or potential conversion subject of course to any of the necessary consents.
Outside Timber gates open into an enclosed courtyard which provides extensive parking and a wonderful low-maintenance outdoor space.
The courtyard is enclosed by attractive stone walling and established planting, creating a private setting ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A detached garage provides additional parking, storage or workshop space.
