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
Believed to date back to the 1890’s and built for the Blacksmith to The Hendre Estate, Forge Cottage has been tastefully modernised by the current owners, creating a wonderful three bedroom family home which has cleverly combined modern living with a country cottage.
The Property Believed to date from the 1890s and originally constructed for the Blacksmith to the Hendre Estate, Forge Cottage has been carefully and sympathetically updated by the current owners.
The result is a well-balanced family home that retains its original character while providing the practical features and finish expected for modern day living.
A characterful entrance porch leads into the hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and doors open into the reception rooms.
The living room is a comfortable and inviting space, centred around a wood-burning stove and complemented by a useful storage cupboard.
The dining room enjoys dual aspect windows, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room, and provides an excellent space for both everyday dining and entertaining.
From here, the accommodation flows into the modern fitted kitchen, which is equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave, along with a generous pantry cupboard.
The kitchen also benefits from an attractive outlook over the rear garden.
A tanked cellar with a window to the front is currently arranged as a playroom, though it would serve equally well as a home office or hobby room.
The ground floor is completed by a practical boot room, ideal for country living and a contemporary family bathroom fitted with both a large bath and a separate shower.
Upstairs, a split-level landing gives access to three comfortable and well proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant outlook.
The second bedroom is further enhanced by a spacious adjoining store room, providing valuable additional storage.
Outside The grounds and gardens are a particular highlight of the property, offering well planned outdoor space to suit both relaxation and practical use.
To the front, a lawned garden is complemented by a patio area, providing an ideal spot to enjoy the morning sun.
A gravel driveway, accessed via an electric gate, leads to the rear of the property where there is ample off-road parking.
Here you will also find an external utility room, a separate WC and a substantial timber double garage/workshop, perfectly suited to those working from home or in need of additional storage and workspace.
The rear garden features a further patio and level lawn, ideal for children’s play or enjoying the evening sun.
The garden has been carefully maintained and includes attractive railway sleeper retaining walls, a vegetable plot, dedicated storage areas and a wood store, creating a practical yet enjoyable outdoor environment.
