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
Being offered with no onward chain.
A quintessential re-thatched cottage set within beautifully established grounds, with a detached annexe in a private village centre setting affording stunning church views.
All in about .75 of an acre. Set back within mature gardens and enveloped by greenery, this charming pink-washed grade II listed detached cottage presents an immediately inviting first impression.
The characterful recently re- thatched roof, gently undulating eaves and traditional proportions, combine to create a home rich in period appeal, while the surrounding gardens offer a wonderful sense of seclusion and tranquillity.
The internal accommodation is both versatile and well-balanced.
At the heart of the home, a welcoming sitting room provides a comfortable and cosy space, complemented by a separate dining room ideal for more formal entertaining.
The kitchen has a newly fitted range of units with built in Neff microwave and a Miele dishwasher, is well positioned to the rear, with a useful adjoining utility room, and connects neatly through to a delightful garden room, offering a light-filled spot to enjoy views across the grounds in all seasons.
To the ground floor there is also a bedroom suite with en-suite, lending itself perfectly to single-level living or guest accommodation.
A further bathroom and separate cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Two separate staircases lead to the first floor accommodation comprising three charming bedrooms displaying a wealth of original features and character with church and garden views.
Outside Outside, the cottage enjoys access down a long sweeping drive leading to the front providing plenty of vehicle parking, turning space and access to a detached double garage.
It is understood (as shown on the plan) that the cottage owns a driveway leading to the side of the property, leading to the rear garden.
Predominantly laid to lawn and framed by established trees, shrubs and hedging, the grounds offer both open space and more secluded pockets, creating an excellent environment for relaxation and entertaining.
The outlook is leafy and private, enhancing the sense of retreat.
In addition, the property benefits from a detached annexe comprising a generous studio-style bedroom/living space with its own kitchen and shower room, ideal for guests, dependent relatives or potential income (subject to any necessary consents).
