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
Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Sandridge, this pretty three-bedroom Grade II Listed period cottage is full of character and warmth.
The village itself has a lovely community feel, with traditional country pubs, Heartwood Tea Rooms, and handy local shops.
For more extensive amenities, you’re just a short trip from the Quadrant and Jersey Farm – and St Albans city centre is only a quick drive away for when you want a bit more buzz.
You're also in a brilliant spot for enjoying the great outdoors, with Heartwood Forest practically on your doorstep – perfect for countryside walks and weekend adventures.
Inside, this delightful home feels cosy and full of charm. It’s clearly been thoughtfully crafted, with hand-made touches and beautiful original features like exposed brickwork and oak timbers.
Step through the front door and you’re welcomed into an open-plan living and dining space, complete with a striking inglenook fireplace – ideal for relaxing evenings.
To the rear, there’s a spacious kitchen/breakfast room that opens out onto the garden, making it a great spot for entertaining or simply enjoying time with family.
There's also a separate entrance hall and a ground floor bathroom. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms, each brimming with character.
Outside, the private garden offers a sunny patio area, a peaceful place to unwind, with access to a garage and parking at the rear.
If you’re looking for something truly special and full of personality, give us a call to arrange your viewing – we’d love to show you around.
