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
DESCRIPTION About halfway between the waterside villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo and the coast, lies the peaceful hamlet of Membland.
Steeped in history this was once the country retreat of the Baring family, of banking fame.
A lavish home (Membland Hall) occupied much of the area where the period homes now sit, with many of these properties once having been part of the estate buildings.
Lady Baring was responsible for creating the 9 mile carriage drive from Membland Hall to Bridgend, Noss Mayo and along the coast and back to Membland, so that their guests could enjoy the spectacular sea views.
This substantial five bedroom house was built in the 1980s and provides the ideal family home.
It has plenty of space with a good sized sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, generous utility and conservatory. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms, one with en-suite and a family bathroom.
The property is hidden away down a private driveway, with a double garage, providing ample parking.
The stunning terraced garden has everything you could want, a paradise for children, bordered with mature shrubs and trees, and a stream meandering through the bottom of the garden beside the historic carriage drive.
A large, south-west facing terrace offers the perfect position to sit and enjoy the views. Note: Historic external photo will be re-taken following completion of external redecoration.
