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
This is an exceptional barn conversion situated on the edge of Talaton, surrounded by the stunning East Devon countryside.
Excellent village amenities are just a short drive away, including a community-run shop/Post Office, pub, and church.
The property also falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded King's School at Ottery St Mary.
The nearby village of Feniton offers a mainline railway station with connections to Exeter and London Waterloo, while the A30 provides convenient access to Exeter, the M5, the coast, and an abundance of scenic walking routes.
The property itself retains a wealth of original character features, seamlessly combined with high-quality modern fixtures and fittings, following its conversion in 2006 to an excellent standard.
Beautifully presented throughout, this light, airy, and deceptively spacious home is ready to move into and ideally suited to both families and those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
The accommodation briefly comprises a 19' dual-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a separate dining room for more formal occasions, and a large archway leading into the impressive kitchen/breakfast room.
This space is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cupboards and drawers, complemented by elegant granite worktops and integrated appliances.
A cloakroom and utility room provide additional storage and appliance space. A ground-floor bedroom with en-suite facilities offers flexible living options.
In addition, the current owners have recently enhanced the property with the installation of an air source heat pump and underfloor heating across the majority of the ground floor, significantly improving energy efficiency and comfort.
On the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying delightful countryside views and an en-suite.
The family bathroom is fitted with a stylish period-style suite, including a roll-top bath with ornate feet.
Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a triple garage with light and power.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and feature a paved patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying a high degree of privacy and picturesque views over adjoining fields.
A luxury summer house and a hot tub create a perfect environment for relaxation and leisure for all the family.
Talaton benefits from a strong sense of community, with a village hall, shop, church, and well-regarded pub.
Ottery St Mary is just a few miles away, and the village lies within the Kings School catchment area. The local primary school at Feniton is also highly regarded.
For commuters, the property offers excellent accessibility to Exeter, the M5, and Cullompton. Honiton is approximately five miles away, with the coast at Sidmouth also within easy reach.
