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
An absolutely charming detached chocolate box cottage dating back to the 1700s, this delightful home has been lovingly owned by the current vendors for the past 24 years.
Combining period character with modern convenience, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2008, including both ground and first floor extensions, and benefits from the significant advantage of not being a listed building.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, beginning with a light and airy entrance hall featuring a central staircase leading to a split level first floor landing.
At the heart of the home is the beautifully fitted kitchen, installed in 2017, offering solid wood worktops, a range cooker, integrated fridge and freezer, a double butler sink, and ample storage.
An adjoining breakfast room provides the perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee.
From here, the accommodation flows through to the welcoming lounge, a wonderfully cosy yet spacious room enjoying a dual aspect and centred around a magnificent inglenook exposed brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a generous double bedroom, a well appointed shower room with double shower cubicle, a large dual aspect dining room, and a stunning garden room flooded with natural light from its dual aspect, French doors opening onto the garden, twin Velux windows, and underfloor heating, this room provides an exceptional space for year round enjoyment.
The split level first floor landing leads to three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite shower room.
Throughout the cottage, a wealth of character features have been retained and enhanced, including exposed beams, latch doors, and attractive pamment tiled flooring.
The property further benefits from double glazing and an external oil fired boiler serving the central heating and hot water system.
Occupying a central position within grounds extending to approximately half an acre (stms), the mature and well established gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with attractive borders and enclosed by mature hedging, creating a high degree of privacy.
A summer house, positioned in the far corner of the garden, enjoys the last of the evening sunshine and provides a peaceful retreat.
To the front is a cottage garden with central gate and path to the front porch.
A substantial driveway offers ample parking for up to eight vehicles and leads to a detached double garage with twin up and over doors, power and lighting connected.
Adjoining the rear of the garage is a versatile studio/games room, currently utilised as a gym, also benefiting from power and lighting, making it ideal for a variety of uses including a home office, hobby room, or additional entertaining space.
This exceptional cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character filled period home with generous accommodation, beautiful gardens, and modern comforts, all set within a highly desirable setting in this picturesque village.
