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
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this charming cottage is believed to date back to the 1700s and is set within a former quarry in the small hamlet of East End, on the edge of North Leigh.
The setting offers a peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle with far-reaching countryside all around, yet remains conveniently close to Witney, the historic town of Woodstock, Blenheim Palace and the exclusive members club - Estelle Manor.
Having been in the same ownership for over 30 years, Roman Cottage is a distinctive stone cottage rich in character.
Period features are evident throughout, including exposed stone elevations, ceiling beams, traditional fireplaces and flagstone flooring.
During their time here, the current owners have made a number of significant improvements, such as replacing the boiler, roof, windows and doors, carrying out repointing work, extending the accommodation, upgrading the driveway and adding two summer houses - both with power.
The main living room is both spacious and inviting, featuring fireplaces at either end - one open and the other fitted with a log burning stove - while leaded windows, including one with a built-in seat allow plenty of natural light in.
The dining room enjoys a dual aspect and parquet flooring and leads through to a well-equipped kitchen fitted with a range of units.
A bedroom and shower room on the ground floor adds versatility whilst upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom.
The outside space is a particular highlight, with a sizeable south-easterly facing garden that is enclosed and offers excellent privacy.
It is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by mature planting, trees, shrubs and raised beds all framed by the surrounding countryside.
A covered seating area creates an ideal setting for outdoor dining. To the rear of the home is a smaller, low maintenance ‘courtyard’ style garden with second summer house.
In addition, there is ample off-road parking and a double tandem garage. The garage could be incorporated into further living space if desired (STPP). EPC Rating: E
