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.

Stonhills are delighted to offer Vane House, an impressive Grade II listed former coach house dating from the mid-18th century, occupying approximately half an acre of beautifully established and secluded gardens and enjoying an attractive position along a private drive in the highly regarded village of Horton.
Vane House has a fascinating history, having originally been built as the coach house serving Horton Hall, the former country seat associated with the Montagu family and the Earls of Halifax.
Horton Hall itself was rebuilt during the 18th century before eventually being demolished in 1936, while Vane House survived and was subsequently converted into the substantial private residence seen today.
The property has been extensively refurbished and reconfigured by the current owners, successfully combining the character and charm of this historic building with contemporary finishes and versatile modern living accommodation.
A particular feature of the improvements has been the relocation of the kitchen into the former lounge, creating an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, together with the addition of a striking glass living room designed to maximise the wonderful outlook across the gardens.
The accommodation is approached via a welcoming reception hall and offers a choice of five reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for family living, entertaining and working from home.
The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the property, while the living room provides a superb space from which to enjoy the gardens throughout the year.
There is also a cloakroom to the ground floor.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, including a substantial bedroom one with en-suite bathroom, together with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Vane House enjoys an enviable position set along a private drive, adding to the sense of privacy and seclusion.
The attractive approach passes Horton House Cricket Club on the way to the property, helping to create a distinctive village setting before arriving at Vane House.
Electric gates open onto a generous private driveway, providing extensive off-road parking and access to a detached double garage.
There is an annual contribution of approximately £500 towards the upkeep and maintenance of the private drive.
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features, extending to approximately 0.5 of an acre and enjoying a predominantly south-facing aspect.
Beautifully tended and established, they feature mature planting, topiary hedging and a particularly attractive canalised stream with waterfall feature, creating a wonderfully private setting and an impressive backdrop to the house.
Vane House is situated in the sought-after village of Horton, with the neighbouring village of Hackleton providing a range of local amenities.
Northampton and Milton Keynes are both readily accessible, and the property is also well positioned for a selection of well-regarded schools and road links.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly individual Grade II listed home, combining a fascinating connection to the former Horton Hall estate with extensive accommodation, beautiful gardens and an impressive private setting.
