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
The Orchard is a stunning detached, four bedroom property located in Higher Batson, just a short walk from Batson Creek and only a little further to Salcombe town centre.
Recently and extensively renovated in 2024 to an exceptionally high standard, the property takes full advantage of its tranquil setting, offering mesmerising countryside and creek views.
The Orchard provides a spacious, modern, and light filled home, complete with a wonderful balcony to enjoy the views, a double garage, ample off road parking, and a generous garden extending to approximately ¾ of an acre.
The accommodation itself is truly beautiful, thoughtfully reflecting its surroundings with natural finishes and neutral tones.
You enter into a spacious entrance hall, which leads to a cosy sitting room complete with a log burner.
This room benefits from bi-fold doors that open onto the front terrace and features a visually stunning wooden-clad wall, a standout feature of the space.
A door from the entrance hall also leads to a convenient utility room, which has outdoor access, and a W/C. A small staircase leads to the heart of the home – the open plan kitchen and dining area.
This space is simply divine, making the most of its idyllic location with wall-length glass sliding doors that open up onto the balcony.
From here, you can soak in views of the surrounding countryside and down towards Batson Creek, making it a perfect spot for entertaining or dining al fresco.
The wooden-clad feature wall is echoed here, ensuring great flow throughout the home. From the entrance hall, a door leads to the luxurious master suite.
You enter through the bespoke en-suite bathroom, which boasts a his-and-her sink, walk in shower, and a bath.
Stairs then lead down to the master bedroom, which offers ample storage and double doors that open onto the rear terrace.
The remaining three bedrooms are located via stairs leading down from the main entrance hall. All three bedrooms enjoy wonderful views, with two featuring en-suite shower rooms.
A further family bathroom can also be found on this lower ground floor.
Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway that leads to the double garage and offers ample off-road parking for 3-4 vehicles.
The generous gardens extend to approximately ¾ of an acre and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a tiered effect, with banks and level lawns that gently slope down to a peaceful stream at the bottom.
The property also benefits from front and rear terraces, providing the perfect spaces for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views of Batson, Snapes Point and head of the creek.
