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
A truly stunning detached family home, beautifully positioned in the ever-popular village of Cople on the outskirts of Bedford, offering excellent access to the A421.
This exceptional property has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owner to an outstanding standard, providing stylish and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by an inviting entrance hall with access to the principal reception rooms.
To the left, a charming sitting room features a box bay window and bespoke built-in storage, creating a cosy yet elegant space.
To the right, a generous dual-aspect lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light and benefits from double doors opening directly onto the garden.
The rear of the property is truly impressive, showcasing a magnificent 26ft dual-aspect family room, complete with a striking feature glass-covered well, offering a unique focal point.
An inner hall leads to a convenient WC and a well-equipped utility room.
The ground floor is further enhanced by a superb open-plan kitchen/dining area, fitted with a large central island with seating, ample storage, extensive granite work surfaces, and space for appliances.
Two sets of bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior with the garden, while a walk-in pantry provides additional practicality and storage.
Another advantage of the ground floor is the inclusion of underfloor heating throughout, providing consistent warmth and added comfort.
Upstairs, the property offers four generously sized bedrooms, two of which benefit from modern en-suite shower rooms.
A walk-in dressing room provides flexibility and could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom if required. The luxurious family bathroom features a roll-top bath.
From the landing, a door leads out to an impressive 28ft roof garden, an ideal sun trap with ample space for outdoor seating and overlooking the private rear garden.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The front offers off-road parking for three vehicles, with additional space available to the rear.
The landscaped garden is designed for low maintenance, predominantly paved with shingle and offers a high degree of privacy.
A standout feature is the brick-built outbuilding, currently utilised as a home office, which benefits from triple-aspect windows and a WC-making it a highly versatile space suitable for a variety of uses.
This remarkable home effortlessly combines character, modern living, and thoughtful design, making it an ideal choice for families seeking both style and functionality in a sought-after village location.
