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.

Description - Occupying a prominent and picturesque position in the heart of one of the area’s most desirable rural villages, Church House is a truly impressive period property of great charm and character.

A generous first floor landing leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a well-fitted shower room.
The second floor has two further bedrooms and an additional shower room, providing flexible living space for family or guests.
