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
A charming detached period cottage occupying a generous and private plot, approached through its own gated grounds and offering three bedrooms, three reception spaces, a double garage and carport.
Offered with no onward chain and available by informal tender. Back Lane Cottage is an attractive and individual detached period home, discreetly positioned off Winston Avenue in Tadley.
Set back from the road within generous private grounds, the property offers an unusual combination of character, outside space and versatile accommodation.
The approach begins with a block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the double garage and carport.
From here, a wooden gate opens with the approach continuing through the garden towards the cottage itself.
The white exterior and traditional detailing immediately give the property an attractive period appearance and a real sense of individuality.
The accommodation begins with an entrance into the first of two reception spaces, featuring a traditional fireplace and providing an inviting introduction to the home.
This leads through to a substantial main living room, with a further room providing considerable flexibility for use as an office or study.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and provides good storage and preparation space. This leads through to a separate utility area and onwards to a ground-floor cloakroom.
A side door positioned adjacent to the cloakroom provides convenient direct access into the garden. On the first floor, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms.
There is a smaller box bedroom, a well-proportioned double bedroom and an impressive principal suite.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous and comprises a large double bedroom together with its own dedicated dressing room and a substantial en-suite shower room, creating an excellent private suite within the cottage.
Outside One of the defining features of Back Lane Cottage is its outside space.
The property sits within a generous and established plot, offering a high degree of privacy and predominantly laid to lawn.
The gated approach and positioning of the cottage within its grounds create an attractive sense of separation from the road, while the garden provides plenty of opportunity for buyers wishing to make the most of the outside space.
In addition to the double garage and carport, there is a separate wood store situated within the grounds, providing useful storage and potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary permissions.
The property benefits from gas central heating, mains services and mains drainage.
We have also been advised that the drains and water supply within the grounds have recently been replaced as part of insurance works.
