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
Available with no onward chain, this beautifully presented cottage offers a rare combination of character, flexibility and future potential, making it an appealing choice for buyers seeking a home that can adapt over time.
The overall presentation is polished and inviting, allowing a buyer to move straight in while still retaining scope to tailor parts of the accommodation to suit individual needs and priorities, with confidence from day one.
The ground floor provides a layout that feels both generous and versatile.
A substantial integral garage offers excellent scope for conversion into a large kitchen and dining room, subject to any necessary consents, creating the opportunity to reshape the house around modern living.
Alongside this, there is a spacious living and dining area centred around a striking fireplace, giving the room a strong focal point and a warm sense of character.
A cosy fitted kitchen connects well with the main living space, while an additional sitting room or snug provides valuable flexibility for quieter evenings, reading or home working.
The third bedroom, currently arranged as a sunroom, adds another adaptable space, and the boot room gives practical access to the garden.
On the first floor, there are two generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with ensuite facilities, creating a comfortable and private retreat.
Outside, the property continues to impress with two garages, one integral with access to the courtyard and a second providing additional off-road parking.
The garden is attractively arranged and well maintained, with a seating area that lends itself particularly well to outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxed afternoons in the warmer months.
