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
Rose Cottage Rose Cottage is a beautifully extended and comprehensively refurbished village home, blending traditional cottage character with contemporary design.
Set along Main Street in the sought-after village of Thorpe, the property offers light-filled living spaces, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, mature gardens and thoughtfully designed accommodation throughout.
Entrance Hall A bright and welcoming entrance hall is framed by glazed panels that fill the space with natural light.
Luxury tiled flooring flows underfoot, while a ground floor WC and generous understairs cupboard add everyday practicality.
Sitting Room The south-facing sitting room provides a warm and comfortable retreat, combining original ceiling beams with a contemporary media wall.
Soft carpeting and excellent natural light create an inviting space for relaxing throughout the year.
Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining And Snug At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area designed for modern family life and entertaining with underfloor heating.
A roof lantern and expansive bi-fold doors flood the space with natural light and connect seamlessly with the garden.
The kitchen centres around a generous quartz-topped island with inset sink and feature pendant lighting.
Quartz worktops, integrated NEFF ovens, an integrated dishwasher, space for an American-style fridge freezer and a walk-in pantry combine style with practicality.
A spacious dining area provides room for a substantial table, while the adjoining snug creates a relaxed setting overlooking the garden.
Utility And Boot Room Positioned just off the kitchen, the utility and boot room provides plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer together with useful storage for coats, shoes and household essentials.
A side door offers convenient access to the garden, with a separate plant room providing further storage.
First-Floor Flexible Room The first floor includes an additional versatile room ideal for use as a home office, creative studio, hobby room or generous walk-in storage space.
Principal Suite The principal bedroom is a beautifully considered retreat with south-facing French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony and views across the mature gardens.
A dedicated dressing area offers scope for bespoke storage. The en suite features underfloor heating, a generous walk-in shower, contemporary fittings and natural light from a Velux window.
Bedroom Two A generous king-sized guest bedroom benefits from twin Velux windows and its own beautifully appointed en suite.
The en suite includes a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC and underfloor heating.
Bedrooms Three And Four Bedrooms three and four offer similarly generous proportions, with south-facing cottage windows bringing in natural light and framing attractive garden views.
Both rooms provide flexibility for family bedrooms, guest accommodation or home working.
Family Bathroom The family bathroom combines a full-sized bath with a separate shower, complemented by underfloor heating and a south-facing window.
The result is a bright, calm and practical space finished to the same high standard as the en suites.
Gardens And Outdoor Living Mature gardens surround Rose Cottage, with established planting creating colour, privacy and seasonal interest.
An Indian stone patio opens directly from the kitchen, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Indian stone pathways extend around the front and sides of the property, connecting the different areas of the garden and completing the considered outdoor setting.
Garage An attached garage with independent access provides secure parking alongside valuable storage or workshop potential.
