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
Originally two cottages, 178 High Street is located towards the edge of the picturesque Suffolk village of Bildeston.
On entering the porch, a door leads through to the dining room with double doors opening into the snug giving the flexibility of using the space as a whole, or two separate rooms.
Beyond lies a comfortable sitting room with exposed ceiling timbers, open fire with inset log burner and attractive stone hearth, and carved wooden surround.
The well-equipped kitchen benefits from various base and eye level units combined with wood effect worktops and a double stainless steel sink.
Plumbing for a dishwasher is provided, and the Rangemaster cooker is supplied by Calor gas.
Adjacent is a useful Utility room providing plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and leads to the cloakroom and study.
On the first floor there is a spacious landing offering useful built-in floor to ceiling storage cupboards, and provides access to a partly boarded loft with ladder.
Set around the landing are three double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 benefits from built in wardrobes, dressing table and drawers by Orwell Pine, and Bedroom 2 offers a built-in wardrobe and airing cupboard.
Outside immediately to the rear of the house lies a paved terrace which leads to a magnificent garden boasting an abundance of impressive plants / trees and shrubs and an enclosure for growing your own vegetables and fruits.
The garden is set on a gentle incline offering far reaching countryside views.
The layout of this beautiful garden has been cleverly designed providing different areas to enjoy different times of the day, with a summer house and decking area towards the very end of the garden making the most of the views, an Al Fresco dining area with gazebo, and a bar with BBQ.
There are several outbuildings available to include a potting shed, store, two heated greenhouses and a single garage with driveway for two vehicles.
Location Located a short walk from the village centre, Bildeston is a popular mid-Suffolk village approximately 5 miles from the market town of Hadleigh.
The village is well served by a thriving Post Office / General Stores, Doctor’s Surgery, Primary School, the acclaimed Bildeston Crown, pubs, and the nearby Hollow Trees Farm Shop.
Services Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Solar panels have been installed on the roof of the house to give maximum energy efficiency.
