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 superbly positioned and charming 3 bedroom semi detached cottage positioned on an almost 0.5 acre plot in The New Forest. No chain!
Valley Cottage is a charming late Victorian red brick cottage with a slate roof located in the ever popular village of Redlynch.
The property is positioned on a plot of almost 0.5 acres and as such offers buyers an opportunity to extend and improve the property (subject to necessary consents).
The property was extended in 2012 and now comprises a 3 bedroom property of 1,100 square feet and benefits from no forward chain.
The front door enters into the most recently built section of the property, this room is a spacious reception room and leads into the dining room which has a large fireplace (not currently in use).
The kitchen has a selection of built in cupboards, a stainless steel sink and electric oven. There is a small lean-to leading from the kitchen which in turn provides access onto the garden.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, two of them doubles and a single. There is also a family bathroom. The property would benefit from cosmetic updating, but has been lived in very recently.
Externally the property has a large front garden predominately put to lawn with a gravel drive which sweeps past the property where there is a wooden garage in disrepair.
The rear garden is the key selling feature for the property due to is size and its wonderful views over adjoining pasture land.
The rear garden is mainly lawn but there is also a wooded area with further out buildings which are again in disrepair. Band E Mains services are available.
From Downton proceed through The Borough and along the High Street. Pass through the traffic lights on Lode Hill and leave the village.
Enter Morgans Vale and at the staggered crossroads with Bowers Hill and Morgans Vale Road turn left to Redlynch. At the bottom of the hill turn right into Princes Hill.
The property will be found after about 1/4 mile on the left hand side.
The property is pleasantly situated in the popular New Forest National Park village of Redlynch where there are facilities for day to day needs and a short walk to the Kings Head public house.
The historic village of Downton, where there are further facilities, is approximately a mile away.
The south coast is within easy reach as is the Cathedral City of Salisbury where there are extensive educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market, in addition to a mainline railway station with regular services to London Waterloo.
The area is also very convenient for those who commute or travel with easy access onto the A36/M27 and the M3.
There is excellent walking, riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside; there are three nature reserves within an easy walk. There are 2 Golf courses nearby at Hamptworth and Lyndhurst.
