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
Berry Dene represents a truly unique proposition, positioned at the heart of the ever-popular village of Combe Martin and offering exceptional scope for modernisation and future development.
The property comprises a charming two-bedroom cottage, an attached workshop/barn and an additional detached workshop measuring approximately 40ft in length.
While the buildings require comprehensive modernisation throughout, they present a wealth of potential uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Upon entering the cottage, a central hallway leads to two reception rooms, positioned on either side and currently arranged as a lounge and a dining room.
Turning left and passing the staircase and substantial built-in storage, the accommodation continues through to the kitchen, which provides access to the rear garden.
To the first floor, the property offers a spacious main bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a second bedroom, and a generous bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, corner shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.
A cupboard within the bathroom houses the gas combination boiler.
Exiting the cottage and continuing down the lane, the attached storage area/barn is found, offering an exciting opportunity to extend the main house or potentially create a separate dwelling, subject to obtaining the correct planning permissions.
This building comprises two rooms on the ground floor, with a large vaulted main room on the first floor, along with an additional storage area.
The detached workshop is located further along the lane, beyond the remainder of the rear garden.
Measuring approximately 40ft in length, it provides excellent storage capacity and further potential for alternative uses or redevelopment, again subject to the relevant consents.
Altogether, Berry Dene is a rare opportunity for those seeking a project with flexibility, character and significant potential in a highly desirable village location.
