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
Occupying a wonderful position within the picturesque coastal village of Portgordon, this beautifully presented traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home combines character and charm with modern comfort, while offering far-reaching and quite exceptional views across the Moray Firth and along the Moray coastline.
The coastal outlook is one of the property's most impressive features. Sea views can be enjoyed from most rooms in the property.
From one of the first-floor bedrooms, the outlook stretches along the coastline towards Lossie Lighthouse, creating a particularly spectacular backdrop.
The views continue outside, with the rear garden providing an excellent vantage point across the coast.
From the garden, it is possible to watch fishing boats and cruise ships passing along the Moray Firth, while seals can sometimes be spotted in the water.
The proximity to the sea is not simply something to look at either - on quieter days, you can quite literally hear the coastline from the garden.
Internally, the property is in move-in condition and offers bright, welcoming accommodation with a warm and homely atmosphere.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a cosy lounge with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a particularly inviting focal point, together with a second reception room currently used as a home office.
The office benefits from the coastal outlook and provides an excellent space for working from home.
The modern fitted dining kitchen, installed in 2014, is a bright and sociable space with room for dining and enjoying everyday family life. The kitchen also benefits from views towards the sea.
A generously proportioned ground-floor bedroom offers excellent flexibility for family living, guests or those looking for the convenience of single-level accommodation.
A useful feature beneath the stairs is the existing cupboard, which currently houses fittings for a potential second bathroom.
This offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to complete the installation, subject to the necessary requirements and consents.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two further double bedrooms, both enjoying sea views.
One bedroom in particular takes advantage of the property's elevated position, with an impressive panoramic outlook extending along the coastline towards Lossie Lighthouse.
The rear garden is another real highlight.
Enclosed and private, it features a decked seating area which is perfectly placed for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting back and enjoying the changing coastal scenery.
The garden also has a lovely productive element, with established gooseberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, apple and plum plants/trees providing seasonal fruit.
A block-built store and timber shed provide useful additional storage for garden equipment. The house was painted blue in 2025, adding to its attractive coastal character.
For those who enjoy looking towards the night sky, the property's coastal position also offers the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights from the garden, with particularly clear views available from the nearby coastline.
A characterful and beautifully presented coastal home offering far-reaching sea views, flexible accommodation and a genuinely special setting within the Moray coastal landscape.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the views, location and lifestyle on offer.
