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 spacious detached house and fantastic home studio / annexe in wonderful rural location with fine far reaching views and about 5 acres.
The Property Five Acre Farm is a detached brick built house formerly two cottages and believed to have been originally built in 1939 of brick elevations under a pitched tiled roof.
The house now offers contemporary and stylish accommodation along with a link to a wonderful home studio / office which could also be used as a separate annexe.

The house is entered from the front via a door to the porch leading to the hall with staircase and door to the kitchen / dining room.
This is a wonderful family space with the kitchen area having an excellent range of wall mounted and floor standing units, large island with granite worksurfaces and family room beyond with open fire.
The conservatory looks out over the garden and fields and doubles as a superb dining room with newly installed air conditioning.
The sitting room is a lovely room with wood burning stove with stone surround and mantle and French doors to the decking.
