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
Rose Mount is a highly versatile, attractive and well proportioned detached three bedroom, two bathroom property with a separate one bedroom annex with private access.
The property was built in 1929 in the distinctive Art Deco style on a desirable and well proportioned plot.
The property enjoys a particularly appealing south facing aspect, with a number of rooms benefiting from lovely views across the gardens and surrounding Lakeland countryside.
A versatile property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers, whether as a family home, a retirement property or a main residence.
It would equally lend itself to use as a second home or holiday let, offering excellent flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles and requirements.
Having the significant advantage of a self contained studio apartment situated beneath the main house.
This has been used by the current owners on an ad hoc basis for bed and breakfast and holiday lets for 25 years, providing an opportunity for an additional income stream.
Equally suitable as a great hobby room or home office. We are advised the annex could generate circa £25,000 as a holiday let and the main house could generate £40,000-£50,000 per annum.
The property enjoys a wonderful garden, attached garage and off road parking. The property has no onward chain.
Superbly situated within easy walking distance of the centre of the highly sought after town of Ambleside, Rose Mount occupies an enviable position in the heart of the Lake District National Park.
