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
Introducing 15 Hopton Castle, a modernised, semi-detached house located in the delightful rural village of Hopton Castle, surrounded by the beautiful South Shropshire countryside.
With exceptional views to the rear across adjoining fields and rolling countryside towards the woodland beyond, this well presented property offers all the benefits of village life, with a particularly impressive garden backing directly onto open countryside.
Ideal for a small family, first time buyer or perhaps those looking to escape to the country, number 15 offers 3 bedrooms, a family bathroom, spacious kitchen diner and separate reception room, while outside there is generous off road parking, a detached garage and a sizeable south facing rear garden.
Character has not been forgotten during the modernisation either, with oak internal doors and finishings and a wood burning stove providing a lovely focal point within the reception room.
Inside, the accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up of an entrance hall with stairs rising off to the first floor and a door leading into the reception room.
A comfortable and cosy space, the reception room enjoys views out towards the rear garden and countryside beyond and features a wood burning stove set within a brick fireplace with an oak mantle above.
From here, a door leads through into the spacious kitchen diner, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, wooden worktops, a Belfast style sink and integrated cooking appliances.
At the centre is a large breakfast island which provides plenty of additional worktop space as well as room for seating, making this a particularly sociable and practical room.
A door from the kitchen gives way to a useful lean-to/rear hall, which in turn provides access to the garden, a downstairs W.C and a separate store room.
Subject to all necessary permissions, this rear lean-to could potentially be transformed into a further reception room or extension to the kitchen.
Upstairs, the landing area gives way to 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both good-sized doubles, while bedroom 3 makes for an ideal single bedroom, nursery or home office.
Bedrooms 1 and 2 to the rear take full advantage of the property's wonderful position, enjoying far reaching views across the garden and neighbouring countryside.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, W.C and wash basin.
Outside, a generous gravelled area provides ample off road parking, with a driveway to the side continuing towards the detached garage, offering a useful parking, workshop or storage space.
To the rear, adjoining the house is a gravelled seating area which provides an ideal spot for outdoor furniture and entertaining during the warmer months of the year.
From here, steps rise onto a substantial lawned garden which stretches away from the property and has fenced and hedged boundaries.
The open aspect is a real highlight, with the garden backing directly onto countryside and enjoying exceptional views across neighbouring fields towards rolling hills and Hopton Wood.
Whether you are looking for space for children and pets to run around and play in, somewhere to entertain family and friends or simply a garden from which to sit back and enjoy the surrounding countryside, it is a setting that is difficult not to appreciate.
