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.

Description: A beautifully refurbished semi-detached character cottage offering stylish and versatile living accommodation, perfectly positioned where town and countryside meet.
Enjoying delightful rural views whilst remaining within easy walking distance of the town centre and its excellent amenities, this charming home effortlessly combines period character with contemporary comfort.
Historically, we believe the original cottage dates to the 1800s, in the early 1980’s it became two separated cottages following a large wrap around extension, in more recent years becoming one incredible cottage, which was then thoughtfully transformed by the current owners.
The result is an elegant and bright home that retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, fireplace, bespoke solid wood latch doors and painted floorboards, while benefiting from extensive modern upgrades throughout.
The accommodation is both generous and flexible, comprising three double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and two staircases, making the property ideally suited to family living, home working, or multi-generational needs.
At the heart of the home is a stunning contemporary kitchen fitted with Wren soft-close cabinetry, solid oak and quartz worktops, integrated appliances, and a central island, complemented by a separate utility room and two stylish shower rooms.
Further improvements include a new central heating system with a blend of traditional and modern radiators, updated electrics, replacement flooring throughout in oak, slate and carpet finishes, a new uPVC conservatory, and a replaced flat roof with the remainder of a 20-year guarantee.
Outside, the landscaped gardens enjoy a sunny South-Westerly aspect and offer a wonderful mix of lawn, mature planting, and original flagstone pathways, all enclosed for privacy.
A double garage/workshop with electric remote-controlled door and driveway parking for two to three vehicles complete this impressive home.
This exceptional cottage offers the perfect balance of character, space, and modern living in a highly desirable location.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this unique property has to offer.
