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 for the first time in over 42 years, this substantial period townhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable heritage, believed to date back to the 15th century.
Rich in character and architectural charm, the property retains an abundance of original period features including exposed ceiling beams, sash windows, traditional shutters, latched doors, and open fireplaces.
Of particular note is the impressive inglenook fireplace within the sitting room, believed to have been constructed during the rebuilding of The Abbey, adding further historical significance to this unique residence.
Now requiring comprehensive refurbishment, the property offers enormous scope for sympathetic restoration and modernisation, allowing an incoming purchaser the opportunity to create a truly exceptional home tailored to their own vision and specification.
Arranged over four floors, the versatile and generously proportioned accommodation comprises three principal reception rooms, a kitchen, separate utility/boot room, cloakroom, and a substantial cellar accessed from the utility area.
The first floor provides three spacious bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an en-suite shower room, while the upper floor offers an additional bedroom together with a large attic room offering further flexibility.
Externally, the property enjoys a private south-facing courtyard garden with wrought iron gated access onto Burnivale, a detached single garage, and an impressive range of substantial outbuildings including a workshop positioned to the rear of the courtyard Situation Conveniently located in the heart of this historic town, yet within a short distance of country walks and the picturesque River Avon.
Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century.
This thriving pretty town offers a wealth of buildings of architectural interest including its ancient Abbey, whilst also having a wide range of shops and amenities, a Waitrose, award winning schools and leisure facilities.
Early tributaries of The River Avon pass around the town with pretty walks and the countryside close at hand.
