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
Ideal for families looking for village life with modern comfort, this beautifully renovated home offers stylish living, generous outside space and the rare advantage of direct access to the village playing field.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this exceptional home has to offer.
Dating back to the early 19th century, this attractive period home has been completely transformed by the current owners, creating a property that combines character with all the benefits of modern living.
A comprehensive renovation has included a new roof, full rewire, replacement windows, loft conversion and tasteful redecoration throughout, while carefully preserving original features including the staircase and three Edwardian fireplaces.
The accommodation is arranged over three well-planned floors and is perfectly suited to modern family life.
The welcoming sitting room is centred around a log-burning stove, creating a cosy space to relax throughout the year.
A separate versatile dining/garden room provides an excellent area for family meals and entertaining, with a feature fireplace adding warmth and character.
Bi-fold doors open directly onto the south facing garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
To the rear of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and stylish, offering ample worktop space, good storage and room for informal dining.
Doors leading to the garden make it easy to enjoy summer meals outside while keeping an eye on children playing.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a contemporary family bathroom, while the converted second floor creates an impressive principal bedroom complete with fitted storage and a modern en suite shower room, providing a private retreat away from the main family accommodation.
Outside, the generous south facing garden is a real highlight.
Mainly laid to lawn with several seating areas and a covered pond, it provides plenty of space for children to play, family gatherings or simply relaxing in the sun.
Gated side access leads to private parking, with further potential to create a car port or covered parking area, subject to any necessary consents.
There is also scope to extend the rear of the property, subject to the relevant planning permissions, allowing future owners the opportunity to adapt the home as their needs change.
One of the property's most unique features is its direct pedestrian access to the village playing field, something enjoyed by very few homes within the village.
This creates an extension of the garden and offers a fantastic space for children, dog walking and outdoor recreation right on the doorstep.
Situated within the sought-after conservation village of Sutton-on-the-Forest, the property enjoys a welcoming community and an excellent range of local amenities.
The village offers a well-regarded primary school, preschool, village hall, church, children's play area and regular community events, making it particularly popular with families.
Excellent local dining includes Il Paradiso on the Forest and Miss Daisy's at Sutton Park, while nearby Huby provides a village shop, post office, pubs and takeaway options.
Sutton-on-the-Forest also benefits from the popular Rose & Crown, a traditional village pub that provides a welcoming place to enjoy a meal or meet friends, adding to the strong sense of community that makes the village such an appealing place to call home.
The market town of Easingwold is just a short drive away and offers supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, healthcare facilities and a secondary school.
York city centre is approximately nine miles away, providing outstanding shopping, cultural attractions, excellent restaurants and fast rail services to London King's Cross in under two hours on selected services.
An hourly bus service also connects the village with York, making commuting straightforward.
Beautifully presented throughout, offering period character, modern finishes, a generous south facing garden, private parking, future potential and the rare benefit of direct access to the village playing field, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy village living within easy reach of York.
