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
Heywoods estate agents are proud to present this enchanting two-bedroom cottage that is simply bursting with charm, character and beautiful traditional features.
Set back from the main road behind a forecourted area, the property enjoys a lovely sense of privacy, whilst the delightful green outlook to the rear adds to its peaceful and inviting setting.
From the striking exposed timber beams and impressive brick fireplaces to the cosy wood-burning stove and traditional cottage-style interiors, this is a home that offers something truly special.
Properties of this nature rarely come to the market, making this a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or anyone dreaming of owning a characterful cottage in a charming village location.
With Keele University and the heart of the village within walking distance, allocated parking to the rear and the added benefit of no onward chain, this delightful home certainly has plenty to offer.
Approaching the property, the cottage sits pleasantly back from the roadside, with a forecourted area providing a welcome degree of separation and privacy.
Stepping through the traditional storm porch, you are welcomed into a wonderfully inviting lounge, where the character of this delightful home is immediately apparent.
Beautiful exposed timber beams stretch across the ceiling and walls, creating a striking contrast against the light décor, whilst warm wooden flooring adds to the room's rustic appeal.
Taking centre stage is the impressive exposed brick fireplace, housing a wood-burning stove that provides a lovely focal point and is perfect for those cosy evenings in.
A generous window to the front aspect allows natural light to fill the room, creating a bright and welcoming space that effortlessly combines traditional cottage charm with comfortable everyday living.
Continuing through the cottage, the character carries beautifully into the kitchen diner, a room full of personality and rustic appeal.
Exposed timber beams, attractive tiled flooring and a wonderful brick fireplace create a traditional country-cottage feel, whilst a range of fitted units and complementary work surfaces provide practical space for cooking and preparing meals.
The impressive range cooker sits beneath a tiled splashback, adding to the kitchen's charm, whilst the traditional Belfast-style sink overlooking the rear provides another lovely feature.
There is also space for a dining table, making this a welcoming setting for everything from relaxed morning coffees to family meals.
Leading off the kitchen is a useful utility area, offering additional worktop space and room for laundry appliances, together with a door providing access to the rear courtyard.
From the inner hallway, a staircase leads to the first floor, where the cottage's traditional features continue.
The main bedroom is a lovely, well-proportioned double room, enjoying an abundance of character with its exposed ceiling beams and timber detailing.
A particularly charming addition is the built-in window seat with storage beneath, offering a peaceful little spot to sit and enjoy the attractive green outlook to the rear.
The room provides a comfortable and relaxing retreat, with its combination of natural light, wooden flooring and distinctive cottage features creating a wonderfully homely atmosphere.
The second bedroom is a charming single room, once again showcasing exposed timber beams and attractive panelling that complement the cottage's traditional style.
This versatile space would make a lovely child's bedroom, guest room or home office, depending on individual needs.
Completing the first-floor accommodation is the spacious family bathroom, which is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, separate walk-in shower enclosure, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
The exposed beams, traditional-style panelling and decorative finishes give the bathroom plenty of character, whilst the separate bath and shower provide practicality for everyday living.
Stepping outside, the cottage benefits from a low-maintenance rear courtyard, offering a pleasant outdoor space with the opportunity to add your own personal touches.
The lovely green surroundings to the rear provide an attractive backdrop, adding to the sense of tranquillity and making this a delightful spot to enjoy a morning coffee or some fresh air during the warmer months.
The property also benefits from allocated parking to the rear, a valuable addition that provides everyday convenience.
The location is equally appealing, with the cottage nestled within the charming village of Keele, an area well regarded for its attractive surroundings and village atmosphere.
Keele University is within walking distance, making the property particularly attractive to those connected with the university as well as investors looking for a conveniently positioned property.
