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
Set within a riverside position and surrounded by beautiful woodland, Melin Caiach House is a unique and characterful detached home that has been lovingly held by the same family for almost 60 years.
The property forms part of an old mill, with original stones still proudly positioned in the garden, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history.
This spacious detached three-bedroom home sits within a generous plot that includes a paddock, garages and outbuildings, making it ideal for families, those seeking privacy or anyone looking for a home with business or workshop potential.
The Bargoed Taf runs alongside the property, creating a calming and picturesque setting where wildlife flourishes throughout the seasons.
Inside, the house retains much of its original charm, with a large dual-aspect living room/diner featuring French doors opening onto the garden, a well-proportioned kitchen and a welcoming hallway with mid-century touches throughout.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, complete with a bath, separate shower and even a traditional sauna.
While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it offers huge potential for those wishing to create a bespoke home in a truly special setting.
Outside, the grounds are one of its greatest assets bordered by mature trees.
The paved terrace provides the perfect spot for outdoor seating, and the large paddock area, together with the detached garages and workshops, make this property ideal for hobbies, storage or business use (subject to the relevant permissions).
