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.

The building is understood to have originally formed part of an old brewery, adding an interesting element of local history.
The property is approached via a large gravelled frontage providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
Stepping through the entrance, the property opens into a good-sized porch, before continuing into the main living room.
This is a generous space with windows allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
The living room is visually divided into two areas, creating a main seating space and a cosy lounge area, with a small decorative arch opening between the two sections adding character and helping the spaces feel connected.

Upstairs, the property offers two good-sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom, with the bedrooms enjoying countryside views.
The main double bedroom is a generous size and benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the second double bedroom also offers a good amount of floor space and natural light.
The single bedroom is a practical size with fitted storage, making it ideal as a child's room, guest room or home office.
The first floor also features a spacious family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a large curved corner shower enclosure.
A frosted window allows natural light into the room while maintaining privacy. Externally, the property offers a range of useful additional spaces.
To the rear of the property is a workshop, previously used for craft work and curtain making, providing a practical area for hobbies, creative use or general storage.
There is also a small shed for further outdoor storage. Off the driveway, there is an additional useful storage space with electricity, offering further practical storage or workspace options.
