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
General Description Smiths Property Experts are favoured with the instruction to market this exceptional six-bedroom detached family home, with immaculate living space extending to approximately 3,650 square feet (including garaging).
The property, with mooring and fishing rights, is set in south-westerly facing grounds extending to approximately 0.43 of an acre and backs onto the River Soar.
The property is situated in the charming East Midlands village of Normanton on Soar and boasts beautiful views of open countryside to the front and rear.
The current owners have maintained the property to an exceptionally high standard, offering a ‘move-in’ condition for any eventual purchaser.
Family homes of this ilk are rarely available, and with its versatile layout and considerable potential, this property is ideal for a large family or those seeking annexe or multi-generational living options.
The Main House The main house is constructed to an excellent standard and has been substantially extended and remodelled by previous and current owners.
The property is connected to mains services, with gas central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout.

On the ground floor is a large double bedroom with a dressing area and an adjacent bathroom, behind which is a large reception room, making it ideal for annexe accommodation.
From a light-filled entrance hall is also a study, a WC, a utility room, a dining room, a beautiful shaker-style fitted kitchen/diner, and a most impressive main sitting room.
There is also an integrated double garage and a second WC.
Of note are the two main reception rooms, connected via internal bi-folding doors, the space opens to create an incredible room for entertaining and parties.
Both these spaces and the kitchen have unspoilt views down the gardens to the beautiful River Soar and open countryside beyond. The principal bedroom suite is also unrivalled.
A large bedroom with plentiful built-in wardrobes, a separate dressing room, and a stunning modern bathroom suite, there are glazed doors to the rear leading out onto a private balcony offering elevated views over the River.
Garden and Grounds This wonderful family home is set on grounds extending to approximately 0.43 of an acre, with beautiful views of open countryside beyond the river to the rear.
Set back from the quiet and pretty Main Street in the village and behind an established hedgerow, there is a large tarmac-laid private driveway offering parking for numerous vehicles.
Integrated into the main house is a spacious, oversized double garage with lighting, power, and an electrically operated door.
There is also a useful covered porch to the front of the property, and access to the rear via each side.
To the rear are the most special gardens, manicured and fully established to provide complete privacy, with a south-westerly aspect offering all-day sun.
Across the back of the house is a flagstone-laid entertaining terrace/patio that leads down to tiered lawns with mature borders and hedgerow-planted boundaries.
There are two substantial timber stores (one shed and a summer house). At the bottom of the gardens is the beautiful River Soar.
