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 truly charming two-bedroom property, completely refurbished from top to bottom while retaining the character and charm of the historic Old St Nicholas Priory building - the oldest structure in Exeter dating back to 1087.
Full description A truly charming two-bedroom property, completely refurbished from top to bottom while retaining the character and charm of the historic Old St Nicholas Priory building.
Dating back to the 1087, this exceptional home combines period features with modern-day practicality and occupies an enviable position in the heart of the city centre, just moments from Exeter Cathedral and within easy reach of Exeter Quay.
Approached through a beautiful gated entrance, the property immediately offers a wonderful sense of security and privacy.
A pretty communal walkway leads you towards the front door of this characterful home, setting the scene for what lies within.
Upon entering, the newly installed kitchen is both stylish and practical, with an excellent range of storage and ample space for all the essentials.
Two windows flood the room with natural light, while the sympathetic refurbishment ensures the historic character of the property remains very much in evidence.
The main living space is a particularly impressive room, combining living and dining areas and featuring huge sliding sash windows.
Some of these have been enhanced with secondary glazing, helping to keep the sounds of the city at bay while retaining the beauty and character of the original windows.
The generous proportions provide plenty of space for comfortable seating and a large dining table, making this a fantastic room for both everyday living and entertaining.
Also on the ground floor is a newly installed cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, adding valuable convenience.
Upstairs, the hallway cupboard has been cleverly converted into a useful utility cupboard with plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer - an excellent practical addition for modern living.
There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from large sash windows and plenty of natural light.
The Jack and Jill bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a large shower, WC and wash hand basin, together with another beautiful sash window.
To the rear, the property enjoys a small private garden area, providing a lovely spot for a table and chairs.
Whether enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing in the evening, this cosy outdoor space is a wonderful addition to city centre living. The location is exceptional.
Exeter Cathedral is approximately a minute's walk away, while the famous Exeter Quay is only a few minutes on foot.
A wealth of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and everyday amenities are right on the doorstep, with excellent transport links including multiple railway stations and bus services nearby.
The M5 and A30 are also readily accessible, making this an ideal home for commuters. The vendors have already secured their onward purchase, meaning the chain is extremely short.
Given the quality, character and superb city centre location, an early viewing is highly recommended.
