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
Number 4 Tor Manor is an impressive contemporary townhouse forming part of an exclusive gated development of just nine individual homes, built approximately six years ago by Nirvana Homes, an award-winning local family developer.
Now offered to the market as a resale, the property has the benefit of the remainder of its original 10-year structural guarantee and has been further improved by the current owners since purchasing it from new.
In particular, they have introduced a considerable amount of additional storage throughout the property, making the accommodation notably practical as well as stylish.
Tor Manor itself is an attractive and distinctive development, traditionally block built and arranged around a private gated courtyard within the Tormohun Conservation Area.
Its elevated setting overlooks the historic churchyard and grounds of the Grade II* listed Church of St Andrew and occupies a site with an interesting connection to the original Manor of Torre.
The accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and has been designed to provide a generous amount of living space while making good use of natural light and the elevated outlook.
The interior retains the high-quality specification associated with the original development, including a well-appointed kitchen with integrated appliances, contemporary bathroom fittings and modern finishes throughout.
The current owners have further enhanced the house during their ownership, with the addition of extensive fitted and integrated storage that makes particularly good use of the available space.
The property boasts a contemporary master bedroom complete with en suite and walk-in wardrobe, alongside a family bathroom and a convenient ground floor WC.
Private outside areas and upper-level terraces complement the accommodation, with attractive views across the surrounding conservation area and towards the Bay from the higher levels.
The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.
One is located to the front of the property within the gated area, while the second is situated to the rear of the development, accessed via the side driveway, with convenient pedestrian access from the rear walkway.
For buyers who like the idea of a relatively modern home but would prefer an established property which has already been lived in, improved and enhanced, Number 4 offers an excellent alternative to purchasing directly from a developer.
The property is freehold, with each homeowner holding a share in the residents' management company responsible for the upkeep of the private entrance, electronically controlled gates, courtyard, parking and communal areas.
The property is offered for sale chain free.
EPC Rating: B Location Tor Manor occupies a distinctive position within the Tormohun Conservation Area, close to the historic centre of Torre and within easy reach of Torquay's town centre and seafront.
The development overlooks the grounds of the Grade II* listed Church of St Andrew, formerly the medieval parish Church of Torre.
The surrounding area has considerable historical significance and formed part of one of Torquay's earliest settlements.

The Riviera International Centre and tlh leisure complex are also within convenient reach and provide a range of swimming, fitness, leisure and recreational facilities.
Torquay's seafront, harbour and marina are easily accessible and form one of the principal attractions of the English Riviera, with a wide choice of waterfront restaurants, bars, coastal walks, beaches and water-based activities.
Torquay railway station provides connections towards Newton Abbot and the national rail network, while the South Devon Highway gives straightforward road access towards Exeter and the M5.
The wider area offers an excellent balance of coast and countryside, with the beaches of Torbay, the South West Coast Path, Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams all accessible from the town.
For buyers wanting a secure contemporary home with an interesting setting, good transport links and convenient access to the coast, Tor Manor represents an appealing and unusual opportunity.
Garden Tor Manor is approached through secure electronically controlled gates opening into an attractive private courtyard serving just nine homes.
Number 4 benefits from its own private outside areas together with terraces/balconies that provide additional space to sit outside and enjoy the elevated surroundings.
Parking is provided within the gated development, with the communal driveway, courtyard, gates and shared areas maintained through the residents' management arrangement.
The development also retains a strong connection with the history of the site, with substantial stone boundaries and the restored historic fountain feature associated with the original Manor of Torre.
The result is a development that feels considerably more established and individual than a typical modern housing scheme. Parking - Allocated Parking
