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.

Upon entry, a welcoming living room provides a comfortable space for cosy nights in, while a separate dining room offers versatility for entertaining or family gatherings.
The kitchen now requires modernisation but presents exciting potential, with scope to open through into the rear reception room to create a stylish open-plan kitchen/living space, subject to any necessary planning consents.
Benefiting from pleasant morning sun, this area could become a wonderful heart of the home, perfectly combining contemporary living with the character and charm of the original cottage.
A generous additional reception room completes the ground floor, offering further flexible living or entertaining space.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both featuring attractive fireplaces and offering peaceful retreats with plenty of potential.
