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
Perfect for downsizers or first-time buyers seeking a peaceful setting with potential to personalise, this well-positioned home is tucked away in a quiet corner of a sought-after village.
With no onward chain, garage, garden and room for improvement - it's ready for a new chapter.
Set in a peaceful residential cul-de-sac with open fields to the rear, this home offers a spacious and well-balanced layout ideal for someone ready to put their own stamp on it.
The separate lounge is generously sized and made bright by a large bow window, creating a welcoming space that looks out onto the front garden.
The kitchen and dining room sit to the side with separate side access door.
While the interiors would benefit from some modernisation, the home has strong bones typical of a 1970s Sawdon & Simpson build, offering an excellent foundation for refurbishment.
There are two double bedrooms, both comfortably sized and set away from the living spaces to offer quiet retreats.
The bathroom is centrally positioned and easily accessible, with scope for updating to suit modern needs.
Outside, the property features both front and rear gardens, with the rear garden offering a real sense of privacy — ideal for those who enjoy peace, nature or simply relaxing in a non-overlooked space.

A single garage sits to the side, complemented by driveway parking for several vehicles.
