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
Welcome to this charming cottage with a delightful twist! The main residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a unique sense of warmth that can only be found in a truly well-loved home.
Adjacent to it sits a large two-bedroom, one-bathroom annexe, adding a versatile and highly desirable feature to this wonderful property.
Step inside and discover stylish, thoughtfully designed interiors that combine contemporary comfort with the timeless character of a period property.
The result is a warm, move-in-ready sanctuary that feels instantly like home.
The annexe provides superb flexibility - ideal for extended family, guests, independent teenagers, or as a potential rental or Airbnb opportunity (subject to planning permission).
Outside, you’ll find ample secure parking and generous storage, catering perfectly to hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or anyone running a home-based business.
After many happy years creating cherished memories here, the current owners are reluctantly downsizing due to age - leaving behind a home that has clearly been cared for and enjoyed.
Set in the heart of Birstall’s historic Old Village, this home offers not just peace and character but also a genuine sense of community.
A short stroll takes you to Birstall village centre, with its range of shops, cafés, and amenities, while the much-loved White Horse Pub is just around the corner.
Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded local schools, Watermead Country Park, and other family-friendly attractions.
With quick access to the A6 and Leicester city centre, you’ll enjoy both convenience and tranquillity in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Birstall’s history - perfectly blending period charm, modern living, and exceptional versatility. Viewing is highly recommended!
