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
Picture-postcard charm, village convenience and a wonderfully generous garden come together at Holly Cottage.
Set on approximately 0.23 acres in sought-after Keelby, this three-bedroom home pairs character-filled interiors with a summer house and everyday amenities within an easy walk.
STEP INSIDE:- Holly Cottage immediately feels different from the more conventional homes around it.
Behind the painted brick exterior is a house where character has been retained and celebrated, while the accommodation has evolved to suit modern day-to-day living.
The lounge is a particularly inviting room, with exposed ceiling beams, timber flooring and a traditional fireplace forming a natural focal point.
It has the warmth and atmosphere you hope to find in a cottage, without feeling overly formal or precious.
Alongside is the kitchen diner, and this is where the house begins to show how well it works in practice.
The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, Belfast-style sink and range cooker, while herringbone-effect flooring continues into a generous dining area.
French doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out during the warmer months.
Beyond the main living accommodation is a substantial utility room, itself full of character with exposed ceiling timbers and traditional-style flooring.
There is excellent additional storage and workspace here, together with access to the garden.
A separate ground-floor shower room is a particularly useful addition and gives the house a level of practicality not always associated with a cottage of this style.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues with three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double, while the remaining rooms provide flexibility for children, guests or home working.
The family bathroom has been finished in a style entirely in keeping with the house, combining painted panelling, traditional sanitaryware and a freestanding roll-top bath to create a room with real personality.
This is a home that feels settled rather than manufactured.
The beams, fireplaces, traditional detailing and softer finishes give it warmth, but importantly there is enough space and practicality for it to function as a genuine family home.
STEP OUTSIDE:- For all the charm inside Holly Cottage, the approximately 0.23-acre plot is arguably its trump card.
French doors from the dining area open onto a paved terrace, creating a natural spot for outdoor dining and summer entertaining.
From here the garden stretches away behind the house for an impressive distance, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging, fencing and mature planting.
The depth of the plot creates a lovely feeling of separation from neighbouring homes, while established trees add character and give different parts of the garden their own atmosphere.
It is the sort of outside space that could comfortably accommodate children's play areas, vegetable beds, entertaining spaces and more formal planting without the garden ever feeling crowded.
Positioned within the garden is a substantial detached summer house of approximately 165 sq.ft.
With glazed doors and windows providing plenty of natural light, it offers far more than simple garden storage. Home office, studio, gym, hobby room or teenage retreat are all realistic possibilities.
The property also enjoys a particularly pleasant relationship with its surroundings, with the recreation ground positioned across Yarborough Road, adding to the open, village feel of the setting.
LOCATION:- Keelby has long been a popular choice for buyers wanting genuine village life while remaining conveniently positioned for the surrounding employment centres and larger towns.
Holly Cottage is particularly well placed within the village, allowing many everyday needs to be reached on foot, including local shops, pubs and recreational facilities.
The village setting makes the property equally appealing to families, couples and buyers moving out from a more built-up location in search of additional space and a stronger sense of community.
Road connections also make Keelby a convenient base for travel towards Grimsby, Immingham and the wider North Lincolnshire area.
For buyers who have been searching for something with more individuality than a conventional modern house, Holly Cottage offers an appealing combination: character inside, a substantial garden outside and village life waiting beyond the front door.
