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
Grade II listed Apple Cottage is an utterly charming four bedroom, double-fronted period home brimming with character features and accompanied by an appealing courtyard and flourishing pretty front garden.
This stunning home which has been lovingly updated and improved by the current owners including recent full refurbishment of original sash windows, is nestled within the heart of the Conservation Area, offering convenient access to the town centre amenities, just a short, level stroll away.
Upon entering this beautiful home, one is immediately taken by its’ charm with a seamless blend of ‘old’ and ‘new’.
It features a plethora of character features, including fireplaces, original sash windows and the original panelled doors, coupled with the owners stylish taste and modern finishes.
The house is beautifully light on account of large south facing windows to the front aspect and is specious and flexible to a number of uses with an excellent flow.
The current owners have installed an impressive traditional-style bespoke kitchen, comprising eye and base level Shaker-style units with contrasting work surfaces and integrated appliances.
This leads to a useful utility room with ample storage. The family bathroom has been beautifully appointed to create a sense of luxury and features a stylish roll top bath.
The two receptions are of excellent proportions both with large sash windows and original fireplaces.
Upstairs the principal room is an excellent size currently with a super king bed in situ with ample space for storage and the second bedroom is currently used as a light filled office boasting fitted storage.
What was the 3rd bedroom has been split into two children's bedrooms, one with a walk in wardrobe and both with an impressive 9ft ceiling height.
A convenient and contemporary shower room completes the upstairs accommodation.
The property offers a quaint, enclosed courtyard garden as well as a pretty front garden which has been beautifully landscaped with mature hedging offering some privacy and adorned with scented roses, edible apple trees and pretty window boxes, a picturesque spot to sit and watch the world go by.
The current owners have a parking space arrangement nearby which could be available by separate negotiation.
