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.

Constructed in the late 1990s, this individually designed residence occupies a truly outstanding position, backing directly onto its own land and enjoying one of the finest views in Launceston.
From its elevated setting, the property commands an uninterrupted east facing panorama across the town to the magnificent Norman Castle, with the rolling western slopes of Dartmoor National Park forming a stunning backdrop beyond.
It is a view that changes beautifully throughout the seasons, offering an ever changing landscape that is simply captivating.
The spacious and thoughtfully arranged accommodation is perfectly suited to a wide variety of buyers.
Offered for sale with no forward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home where the lifestyle is every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself.
Internally, the property begins with an extended entrance porch, where double doors open into the spacious sitting room featuring an attractive stone fireplace with potential to connect a wood burning stove.
The sitting room flows naturally into the UPVC double glazed conservatory, where wooden flooring and double opening doors perfectly frame the magnificent outlook towards Launceston Castle while providing direct access onto the expansive patio.
There is also a useful study, ideal for those working from home.
The light and spacious kitchen/dining room is comprehensively fitted with a range of matching wall and base units, complemented by a central island incorporating a wine rack, the island also serves as a breakfast bar.
Corner carousel storage maximises practicality and the sale includes a Bosch oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher. The modern electric Aga provides efficient and controllable cooking.
Perfectly positioned beneath the window, the sink allows you to enjoy the spectacular views whilst preparing meals.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and benefits from double doors opening onto the patio, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly.
Adjacent is a practical utility room with additional cupboards, plumbing for further appliances, the oil fired boiler and a courtesy door to the outside.
An inner hallway leads to the four bedrooms, three of which enjoy patio doors opening directly onto the rear terrace.
The principal bedroom occupies an especially impressive position, benefiting from a walk in dressing room with an extensive range of fitted mirrored wardrobes and shelving, together with a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom/WC with a separate shower cubicle.

The front gardens are principally laid to lawn and beautifully complemented by a wide variety of mature shrubs, trees and several fruit trees.
To the rear, the expansive patio extends across the full width of the property and has been perfectly designed to capture the breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside towards Launceston Castle.
It provides an outstanding setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing whilst taking in one of the finest outlooks the town has to offer.
Beyond the patio is a further enclosed lawn bordered by stock proof fencing, providing an ideal space for children and pets to enjoy.
Beyond is the field of over two acres which is suited to those who wish to graze animals. Without question, the defining feature of this exceptional home is its magnificent outlook.
The uninterrupted panoramic views across open countryside towards the iconic Norman Castle, with Dartmoor National Park beyond, create a truly special setting that is rarely available and certain to leave a lasting impression.
The property is located on the outskirts of the town and yet is within a walk to many town facilities including a local primary school, Launceston College and the Asda store on Western Road.
Slightly further away, and still within a decent walk, are a choice of supermarkets, Launceston hospital and medical centre.
The busy town centre has a range of shopping, commercial and educational facilities as well as recreational facilities including the community run leisure centre.
Walks out into the open countryside can be enjoyed within a few steps of the property, towards Trebursye in one direction and in the opposite direction, St.
Catherines Hill and the Chapel area of the town.
Launceston lies adjacent to the A30 dual carriageway providing great access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter, the M5 and beyond in the opposite direction.
The city of Plymouth is within 25 miles and has more extensive facilities and a Continental Ferryport. From Launceston Town Centre proceed down the A380 (St. Thomas Road).
At the bottom of the hill before the bridge take the left hand turning signposted "Riverside". Continue along this road passing the Kensey Vale Bowling Club on the right.
Proceed over the bridge and turn right and after a short distance left up St. Catherines Hill. Proceed to the top of the hill bearing left where Pencroft will be identified on the left hand side.
