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 charming and characterful cottage in a prime location offering light open-plan living, low-maintenance courtyard garden and views across the rooftops of Cowes to the Solent from the upper floors.
This attractive period home has been thoughtfully extended over time to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space complete with roof light lantern.
The interior features white wooden floorboards, fireplaces and tasteful coastal décor which makes for a welcoming home that complements its central Cowes location.
Arranged over three floors, including a versatile attic conversion, the property offers flexible accommodation, and the landscaped tiered courtyard garden provides a private, low maintenance outside space.
Set within a cul-de-sac off the main section of St. Marys Road, the property enjoys a surprisingly secluded position just a short walk from the bustling high street.
