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
Situation Set back from The Green, this property offers beautiful far reaching views over unspoilt rural countryside surrounding the village.
The property boasts a superb and tranquil position, set back from the road and approach via private driveway serving just two other properties.
Mellis has long been a sought-after location on the north Suffolk border, neighbouring Yaxley and surrounded by picturesque rural countryside near the Waveney Valley.
The village maintains excellent local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school and local public house within walking distance.
The historic market town of Diss is just 7 miles south, offering extensive shopping, dining, and services, plus a mainline railway station with regular direct trains to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
Description This substantial and spacious five-bedroom detached house was individually designed and built in the late 1980s and is of traditional construction.
In the early 1990s, the property underwent a significant extension, primarily to increase the first-floor accommodation above the double garage.
Today, the property spans approximately 2,800 sq ft (including the double garage), offering highly versatile space that is perfectly suited for family living or equally integrated dual-living.
The accommodation enjoys a pleasing flow, with all of the principal rooms being generously sized. A well-proportioned reception hall creates an inviting first impression.
The main reception room runs the full depth of the house and is flooded with natural light, offering lovely views and access over the rear gardens.
Double doors to the side open through to the second reception room, which serves well as a formal dining room and is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen.
To the front of the house is an office/study, currently used as a snug, providing versatile living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is another well-proportioned space with excellent storage.
Completing the ground floor are two WCs and a large utility room, which provides access to the double garage and office.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, two of which benefit from the luxury of en-suite facilities, alongside a family bathroom.
Of particular note is the principal bedroom, which is not only the largest room in the house but also offers a dressing room and French doors leading onto a balcony, commanding outstanding views over the rural countryside.
Externally, the property is approached via a private driveway that serves just two other properties.
Electric double gates lead onto the main driveway, providing extensive off-road parking for numerous cars.
There is side access on both sides of the house leading to the rear gardens, which are established, private, and generously sized. In total, the overall plot measures 0.29 of an acre.
The gardens enjoy a southerly aspect and back onto rural farmland, offering far-reaching views that create a stunning backdrop.
Agents note There is a shared cost for the upkeep of the driveway - shared between the three householders. The property is situated within a conservation area.
