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
Set in a peaceful cul de sac on Orchard Close, this detached home offers a well balanced layout, plenty of natural light and a setting that feels tucked away while still being part of the village.
Open fields sit just beyond the end of the road, giving the location a calm, open feel.
The current owners have made thoughtful improvements, most notably converting the former fourth bedroom into a stylish en suite shower room to create a more generous principal bedroom suite.
In addition, a superb garden office has been installed by well regarded local company Green Retreats.
Fully insulated, double glazed and fitted with an air conditioning unit providing both heating and cooling, it’s a comfortable, year round workspace or creative studio with power and WiFi.
The ground floor offers flexible living space, including a bright front living room, a spacious sitting/dining room and a well proportioned kitchen/dining room that looks out to the garden.
A cloakroom completes the downstairs layout. Upstairs, there are three well sized bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from the recently added en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
The rear garden is a generous size, mainly laid to lawn with a patio for outdoor dining and a water feature that adds a sense of calm.
The garden office sits neatly within the plot, and there is also access to the garage from the garden. To the front, the driveway provides parking for up to three cars.
This is a bright, adaptable home in a well connected village setting, offering modern comforts, practical space and immediate access to countryside walks.
