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 charming 1930s semi-detached home offers a wonderful balance of character, modern living and an enviable setting backing onto water meadows and a gentle stream.
The property is entered via a useful porch, providing a practical space and leading into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor.
The home has been thoughtfully extended to create a light-filled and sociable kitchen/dining/family space, very much the heart of the home.
The kitchen is well appointed with a breakfast bar, gas hob, electric oven and space for appliances, all perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the garden and open countryside beyond.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a large family table, while the family space, complete with a multi-fuel burner, creates a cosy yet open environment for everyday living.
A particular benefit is the utility room, accessed directly from the kitchen, offering space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional storage, along with a door to the side of the property.
A separate sitting room to the front provides a more private retreat.
From the hallway, there is also a useful ground floor shower room, along with a dedicated laundry cupboard, adding to the practicality of the home and understairs storage.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys particularly lovely views to the rear across the river and water meadows, along with built-in storage.
The second bedroom sits to the front, while the third is currently arranged as a dressing room, offering flexibility for a third bedroom, office or guest space.
A family bathroom fitted with a white suite completes the first floor. To the front, the garden is shingled, providing off-road parking for two cars.
To the rear, the garden is a real highlight - beautifully established with flower beds and mature shrub borders, offering a peaceful and private setting.
A decking area provides the perfect spot to sit and take in the views over the stream and surrounding countryside, while a patio area is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Dorchester is a vibrant and historic county town, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, along with well-regarded schools and leisure facilities.
Surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside and within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast, it offers the perfect blend of town and country living.
Excellent transport links, including a mainline train station to London Waterloo, make it a popular choice for both families and commuters.
