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
Brooklyn Cottage is a beautifully presented, period, detached cottage, with a history dating back to the 17th century set on the High Street in the village of Semington.
The current owners have sympathetically restored the property retaining a wealth of character features combined with modern comfort.
With accommodation set over three floors the cottage provides two reception rooms, well appointed kitchen and separate laundry room, up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A welcoming reception hall, with flagstone flooring leads through to the first reception space, the dining room with feature beamed ceiling and a continuation of the flagstone flooring.
The dining area is open to the kitchen which provides an excellent range of base level units, inset Belfast sink and integrated tumble dryer together with space for a range style oven.
A separate utility offers space and plumbing for the washing machine, space for a fridge/freezer together with a useful larder cupboard.
Beyond the laundry area is the shower room, with modern three piece suite to include glazed shower unit, flagstone flooring and tiled surrounds.
The ground floor is completed by the sitting room, a generous space but with a cosy feel. Of particular note, the beamed ceiling and inset, cast iron, log burning stove!
To the first floor are two excellent double bedrooms which share a galleried landing and the family bathroom which comprises a traditional three piece suite to include ball and claw, roll top bath.
The loft was historically converted and the sellers use the space as a craft/sewing room leading on to a further double bedroom, both spaces flooded with light from velux windows.
The gardens are to the rear, with access from both the cottage and gated side entrance. A paved sun terrace leads through to two lawn area both with well stocked shrub and flower borders.
A covered area is perfect for alfresco dining and there is a pergola ladened with floral climbers. At the top of the garden and productive vegetable beds, garden sheds and water butts.
The owners have created two outbuildings – a large, timber clad space with light and power which is currently used as a salon but could also be a home office or gym.
In addition there is a further building intended as a garden entertainment area and bar with light and power available. Oiled fired central heating, mains water, drainage and sewerage.
