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
If you’re searching for a PROJECT brimming with character, generous proportions and delightful valley views, this charming home presents a rare and exciting opportunity.
Competitively priced to attract immediate interest and offered with no onward chain, this is a property with enormous potential to create something truly special.
Set back from the road behind a front garden, the property immediately makes an impression.
An airy entrance hallway offers the first glimpse of the home’s character, showcasing beautiful original tiled flooring and ornate ceiling detailing — features that hint at the charm found throughout.
The accommodation is wonderfully spacious. To the front, a bright reception room benefits from a large bay window, flooding the space with natural light.
A second reception room to the rear enjoys two generous side windows and connects through to the kitchen, where original tiled flooring continues and dual windows frame views across the valley.
Additional ground floor spaces include a WC, a side lean-to previously used as a greenhouse-style area, and a useful utility space with steps leading down to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the main house offers three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a sizeable four-piece family bathroom.
To the rear, an extended section creates two interconnecting rooms — ideal as a principal bedroom with dressing area — perfectly positioned to make the most of the elevated views.
Beneath the property are several highly practical spaces including a garden room/workshop, additional store room, outside WC and further crawl space.
Externally, the rear garden is well-maintained and provides a wonderful setting to enjoy warmer months and the surrounding outlook. A double garage, accessed via the rear lane, adds further appeal.
This is a fantastic opportunity to modernise and create a beautiful home full of character and individuality.
Early viewing is highly recommended — properties with this much potential and no onward chain rarely remain available for long.
