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 unique, light-filled property which has been converted into a fabulous contemporary home.
Red Cross Hall is a distinctive building set on Bruton High Street, thoughtfully restored and transformed into an exceptional live/work home.
Fully refurbished just five years ago, it retains the charm and character of its historic origins while offering the comfort, efficiency and finish of a beautifully modern home designed for contemporary living.
The result is a light-filled and highly versatile property extending to over 3,300 sq ft, providing generous and flexible accommodation throughout.
The current owners have the front section of the property with the studio/foyer area and bedroom and bathroom above set up and operating as a successful short term holiday let.
It has been previously used as a shop.
With direct High Street access and excellent visibility, it is perfectly suited to retail, studio or holiday let use, but could also be incorporated into the main home to make this a 6 bedroom property.
At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, living space, a wonderfully sociable and light-filled room with a central island providing seating, ample storage and a natural gathering point.
There is space for a large dining table and relaxed seating area, making it ideal for entertaining or family life. A door opens directly onto the pretty walled courtyard garden.
Double doors from the kitchen/dining room open to the sitting room with a further reception room leading off from this room which would be ideal as an office, snug or additional workspace.
Stairs from the entrance hallway lead up to the first floor where there are five well-proportioned and beautifully light bedrooms (one currently being used as a laundry room).
The generous principal suite has a free standing bath and en-suite shower room. There is also a stylish family bathroom.
A spiral staircase rises to the attic level where a fabulous additional room offers enormous flexibility, perfect as a children’s den or simply invaluable additional storage.
The attic floor in total provides three separate areas, enhancing the adaptability of the home.
Outside To the rear, a private courtyard-style garden forms a secluded suntrap with the addition of an outdoor bath creating a wonderfully individual retreat.
To the front, a substantial decked area provides an attractive approach and seating space.
There are parking bays located directly outside on the High Street, and useful side access runs from the front of the property through to the rear garden.
The side passage also provides some handy storage for bikes or gardening equipment.
