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
Beautifully modernised home offering spacious, flowing ground floor living, bright kitchen/breakfast room, snug/occasional bedroom and feature sitting room.
Set in 0.41 acres with mature gardens, brook frontage, ample parking and a superb one bedroom annexe.
The accommodation provides generous and versatile ground floor living space, arranged to create a wonderfully comfortable flow between each of the principal rooms.
The property has been carefully and tastefully modernised by the current owners, blending contemporary touches with the character and warmth of the original home.
Every room feels thoughtfully considered, with a light and airy atmosphere throughout.
The well proportioned sitting room is an inviting space, centred around an attractive feature fireplace that adds both charm and a focal point to the room.
Beyond this is a separate snug, which also serves perfectly as an occasional bedroom or home office.
This room benefits from French doors opening onto the front of the property, allowing natural light to pour in and providing a pleasant connection to the outside.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by an entrance lobby leading to a useful cloakroom.
From here, double glazed doors open into a spacious dining room, perfectly suited for both formal entertaining and everyday meals.
This area flows seamlessly into the bright kitchen/breakfast room, which has been thoughtfully upgraded to create an attractive and practical space for cooking and socialising.
The kitchen enjoys a delightful open outlook over the gardens, enhancing the sense of space and bringing the outdoors in.
To the first floor there are 2 double bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle . The landing area can double up as a lovely open study space should it be required.
The property is situated some 8 miles south of the county town of Taunton and approximately 4 miles from the town of Ilminster and is readily accessible via the A358 which links the two towns.
Although in a rural area, the property is not in any way remote and there are a number of properties near by approached from the same private road. The property sits in its plot of approx.
0.413 acres and is enclosed to the East and South by a beautiful brook.
The gardens are mature and offer a wealth of trees and shrubs, a sheltered seating and entertaining area is found adjacent to the brook.
On the driveway is the recently converted and beautifully presented 1 bedroom annex - ideal for multigenerational or as a separate income stream.
Behind the annex in the lower garden is a green house and secure garden store. The driveway can accommodate plenty of parking.
