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
A newly built and highly specified village home that has been built with energy efficiency and eco living in mind.
Occupying a peaceful plot which directly neighbours rolling countryside, this highly versatile property measures significantly larger than a conventional three-bedroom home that would suit a range of buyers, from growing families to downsizers looking for a simpler way of life.
Located nearby areas such as Oundle, Peterborough and Stamford, this home offers wonderful country living whilst still being connected to modern amenities.
THE PROPERTY Upon entering the double-height entrance hall your eyes are drawn to the oak staircase which sets the tone for the quality of the rest of the build.
Occupying the depth of the Western elevation is a bright and spacious dining kitchen which has plenty of room for cooking and dining, making for a great entertaining space.
The kitchen area is fitted with a generous range of shaker style cabinetry which has integrated double electric ovens, induction hobs, dishwasher and washer/dryer, all topped with granite work surfaces.
Bifold doors create a seamless link with the garden and offer direct views over neighbouring countryside.
Across the hall is the living room which offers a dual aspect and leads thereafter to a further reception room.
Currently listed as a snug, this reception room has fitted storage and external access and offers clear potential to be used as a home office, playroom, or due to the layout and proximity to the cloakroom, a downstairs bedroom if so desired.
The first-floor landing is a feature of the property, with a galleried staircase and hanging space for a large light feature.
Positioned in the Eastern side of the property, the principal bedroom suite is a particularly special arrangement, with a sizeable dressing room, beautifully fitted ensuite shower room and a separate area dedicated to sleeping.
Bedroom two is another large double room which also has a tastefully fitted ensuite shower room, as well as boasting immediate far-reaching countryside views to the West.
Bedroom three is another well-proportioned room, and the family bathroom has been fitted with complimentary fixtures that offer a real country feel, finished with a freestanding bath.
OUTSIDE Positioned in a pleasant situation on the edge of the village, the plot that wraps around the property with the main garden area enjoying a Western aspect.
Largely laid to lawn, the garden offers an enormous level of privacy and directly overlooks some truly spectacular Northamptonshire countryside.
The front is a sizeable resin driveway, along with raised beds which create a soft boundary to the front of the property.
