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
Hidden away in a peaceful and private setting on the edge of the picturesque village of Misterton, just outside Crewkerne, Old Court Bungalow offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy single-storey living in a truly beautiful countryside location.
Once forming part of Henley Manor’s original grounds, the property sits within pretty walled gardens, offering both seclusion and character in equal measure.
This detached two-bedroom bungalow is warm, inviting, and filled with natural light, with a wonderful sense of space throughout.
The entrance hall provides an impressive welcome, leading through to the generous open-plan living and dining room - a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining.
A wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, while large dual-aspect windows frame the gardens beyond.
From here, bi-fold doors open to the garden room, flooded with light and perfect for morning coffee or relaxing with a good book, while offering direct access to the private courtyard terrace.
The kitchen is well-appointed, featuring a newly fitted Zanussi double oven and electric hob, alongside excellent storage and preparation space.
A separate utility room provides additional convenience, housing further appliances and the oil-fired boiler.
The principal bedroom suite is impressively proportioned, extending over 20ft in length - a peaceful retreat with ample space for wardrobes and furnishings.
The second bedroom, a comfortable double, includes an en suite shower room, while the family bathroom features a bath, wash basin, and WC.
The bungalow, would benefit from some modernisation / renovation / re-configuring and has been priced accordingly to sell.
Outside, the enclosed gardens are beautifully presented, combining manicured lawns, stone terraces, and mature planting.
Fragrant wisteria adorns the wooden pergola, while established borders and flowering shrubs add colour and interest throughout the seasons.
A summer house with power and air conditioning offers the perfect spot for hobbies or quiet reflection.
Beyond the garden walls lies one of the property’s finest features - a detached one-bedroom annexe, converted from a former stable block.
With its own private entrance, the annexe includes an open-plan kitchen and living space, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a modern shower room.
Ideal for multi-generational living, or guest accommodation. A stipulation of planning permission for the conversion, is that it may not be used for rental income.
The annexe (and not the bungalow) did previously have some surface rain water ingress and vendors have taken steps to alleviate this problem using a flood board.
This is a temporary fix, and a soak-away would be needed as a more permanent solution.
Completing the picture, there is a substantial triple garage with power, light, and generous overhead storage, along with a wide driveway providing parking for several vehicles.
An additional garden area, planted with fruit trees and enjoying views over open fields, lies just beyond the driveway.
Perfectly situated on the edge of Crewkerne, Old Court Bungalow benefits from excellent local amenities, including independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket, schools, healthcare facilities, and a mainline railway station with regular services to London Waterloo.
The surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring, with the Jurassic Coast just a short drive away.
