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
Barn Cottage is a charming four bedroom home situated in the very popular Chew Valley village of Compton Martin. It combines traditional character with modern comfort.
Forming one of a pair of attached cottages, the property enjoys a good degree of privacy while remaining part of a small and friendly setting.

On the other side of the hall is a spacious living and dining room, offering a second reception space that provides excellent flexibility.
