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
Hollybrook is a really charming period cottage that offers deceptively spacious accommodation with each of the rooms benefiting from super natural light.
The space is well presented and would suit many different buyers including those looking to downsize and be close to the town centre but retain some outside space, an investor looking for a buy to let or air bnb opportunity or a first time buyer looking for for a wonderful home.
Part glazed doors open from the garden into a versatile reception room, currently used as sitting room and study, with stairs rising to the first floor with a cupboard underneath and doors leading to the second sitting room and the kitchen.
The second sitting room is a lovely cosy room with a dual aspect.
The kitchen is well appointed with a good range of wall and base units, built in oven and hob, integral appliances and space for a washing machine.
A door leads to the side to a lean to a garden room, that could be improved to be made a more permanent structure. The first floor offers two good sized double bedrooms each bathed in natural light.
The larger bedroom lies to the rear and has a range of fitted wardrobes and a lovely outlook from the window towards the All Saint's Church and to the hills beyond.
The shower room has a large shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. Outside As is typical for many of the character properties close to the town centre, Hollybrook has a courtyard garden.
However, Hollybrook's is perhaps larger than most and with a westerly aspect enjoys the afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal space to relax and entertain.
Currently patio area, the garden is a real blank canvas ready for someone to dress it as they wish and with plenty of room for storage for bikes etc.
The current owner has, in the past, used the access from Station Road as a vehicular access giving the rare opportunity for off road parking.
However, this has not been used in recent years and interested parties are encouraged to make their own enquiries about reinstating this (there is a drop kerb in place).
