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
Otterpool Cottage is an extremely charming period ragstone grade II listed cottage sitting in it's own beautiful walled gardens within the Kent countryside with the added bonus of a substantial barn/garage with stairs to a further boarded first floor area.
The single storey cottage was originally a two bedroom property, however, the current owners converted it to one bedroom whilst totally refurbishing the property to suit their own needs better, creating an absolute gem of a home providing some 784 sq ft of generous accommodation.
The cottage now consists of hallway, modern bathroom with shower over the bath, dining room/day room next to the recently fitted "Wren" kitchen with marble effect work surfaces, oven and hob together with interesting feature wall.
From the dining room a hallway runs across the rear with two lovely period shaped windows and exposed ragstone wall, this leads to a lovely light double bedroom with vaulted beam and newly fitted wardrobes.
Finally the stunning 18.5' x 14.7' sitting room is a great space with wonderful vertical and ceiling beams together with fireplace housing a solid fuel burner and two windows which can be fully opened.
Outside, the vendors have created a superb garden of "rooms" ideal for entertaining with thoughtful attractive planting throughout.
The cottage garden in front of the property has a brick path leading to a patio and covered BBQ area with pond and water feature, trees and arbour taking you to a further lawned area and pretty entertaining area with summerhouse, beyond that is a very useful hidden mower/log shed.
A few metres from the property is a period ragstone barn/garage with door to the road, with a first floor boarded area this offers a number of opportunities to potential buyers.
