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
A private entrance lobby leads into a beautiful open-plan living, dining and kitchen space — a room that truly feels like a Georgian drawing room.
Tall sash windows pour light across oak floors, while a decorative ceiling rose celebrate the building's heritage.
The kitchen is elegant and understated: Shaker-style cabinetry in cream with brushed brass handles, a striking marble-effect splashback glowing under concealed lighting, and integrated appliances.
The dining area has space for a table by the window, and the lounge offers room for a generous sofa — the perfect spot to curl up with a book as the light changes over the church tower opposite.
The principal bedroom is a calm double with space for a dressing table or desk beneath the window. Bedroom Two is also a double, ideal for guests, family or a home office.
The shower room is pure boutique-hotel indulgence: A generous walk-in shower with a brushed brass rainfall head, handmade-style tiles in warm neutrals, a classic chequerboard floor, a traditional column radiator with brass towel rail and a timber-seated WC.
The apartment comes with one allocated parking space — a real asset in a village-centre location.
Step out of the front door and the whole of Hornby is on your doorstep, with the castle, the church and the River Wenning just a few moments' walk away.
For more than four hundred years, people have stepped through the doors of the Castle Inn in Hornby, glad of a fire, a meal and a welcome.
Coach passengers, castle stewards, magistrates, farmers and dancers have all passed through these rooms. Now, for the first time, the inn itself becomes a home.
2 Old Castle Inn is one of only six homes — three houses and three apartments — that Holmes and Interiors have carefully crafted within this Grade II listed landmark.
Set within the original Georgian building, it offers the grace of a period townhouse with all the ease of modern apartment living.
Hornby was laid out as a planned market town in the thirteenth century, and the Castle Inn has always stood at its very centre — facing the old market place and the gates of Hornby Castle, whose story stretches back to a medieval pele tower.
One of the castle's most famous owners, Sir Edward Stanley, fought at Flodden in 1513 and was made Lord Monteagle for his courage.
There has been an inn on this site since at least the late 1500s, when it was kept by Henry Chatburn, a local linen merchant and deputy bailiff of the Hornby Castle Estate.
When the turnpike road arrived in the 1750s, the inn's fortunes rose with it, and the handsome Georgian building you see today took shape: Squared sandstone, chamfered quoins, slate roof and elegant sash windows.
For more than four centuries, travellers have climbed the stairs of the Castle Inn to rest. 2 Old Castle Inn invites you to climb them one more time — and stay for good. Life In Hornby ...
Hornby is one of the Lune Valley's loveliest villages, with the River Wenning flowing through it and Hornby Castle rising above.
Across the road stands St Margaret's Church with its unusual octagonal tower, and the Main Street is lined with Georgian houses and stone cottages.
Lancaster lies around nine miles away and Kirkby Lonsdale around eight, with regular bus links to both and to Ingleton.
The Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District are all within easy reach - endless walks, cycle rides and country pubs on your doorstep, and a quiet village to come home to.

This was a coaching inn in the truest sense.
Stage coaches between Lancaster and Kirkby Lonsdale halted here, and local tradition holds that passengers riding on the roof could step straight into the inn through an upper door ra...
