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
This is a unique chance to acquire a pair of unlisted semi-detached cottages, formerly a single storey Suffolk barn converted in 1990, set within a generous 1.8 acre plot surrounded by unspoilt open farmland on the edge of one of the Shotley Peninsula’s most requested villages.
Offering both versatility and potential, the property represents an exceptional find for those seeking a home in a tranquil yet well-connected countryside setting.
The cottages are currently arranged as two separate dwellings.
The first is a three-bedroom cottage featuring a welcoming sitting room, fitted kitchen, and bathroom, while the second provides a one-bedroom layout with bathroom, sitting room, and a convenient kitchenette.
Both have been successfully utilised as holiday lets, making them an attractive option for buyers looking to continue a thriving income stream in a desirable rural location.
Equally, the cottages present excellent scope for reconfiguration, with the opportunity to combine them into a substantial single family home that makes full use of the extensive grounds.
The plot, extending to around 1.8 acres, offers wonderful outdoor space, perfect for gardens, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
Positioned on the edge of the village, the property benefits from easy access to local amenities including a village shop, primary school, and pub, as well as riverside walks and sailing facilities at nearby Pin Mill.
For broader amenities and rail services to London, Ipswich lies just a short drive away.
A property of this nature with its combination of character, land, and opportunity – is rarely available and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Property Setting: Set along the sought-after Lings Lane in the picturesque village of Chelmondiston, this charming cottage enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected setting on the Shotley Peninsula.
Surrounded by beautiful Suffolk countryside and within easy reach of the River Orwell, the village offers a wonderful blend of rural tranquillity and community spirit.
Chelmondiston provides an excellent range of everyday amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, village shop, pub, and local services, while the nearby marina at Pin Mill is a haven for sailing enthusiasts and those who enjoy riverside walks and waterside dining.
For broader facilities, Ipswich is just a short drive away, offering mainline rail links to London Liverpool Street as well as extensive shopping, dining, and leisure opportunities.
The wider peninsula is dotted with footpaths, cycle routes, and scenic countryside, making it a highly desirable location for those seeking both convenience and a slower pace of life.
