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 on the edge of the popular village of Spreyton, 1 Cramphay Cottages is a characterful semi-detached cottage combining traditional Devon features with useful modern improvements.
The property is not listed and retains exposed beams, deep-set windows and an impressive inglenook fireplace, while a bright extension and vaulted ceilings add a more contemporary feel.
The front porch opens into a welcoming lounge with heavy beams and a lined multi-fuel stove set within the inglenook fireplace.
The kitchen has cream shaker-style units, composite worktops and space for an American-style fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, together with a Range Master cooker with six-ring gas hob.
The adjoining dining room has a vaulted ceiling, stone flooring, underfloor heating and a second lined woodburning stove.
Patio doors open onto the enclosed courtyard, making this a lovely space for entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine.
Also on the ground floor are two beautifully presented double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom has exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and its own WC and wash basin.
The cottage has oil-fired central heating, UPVC double glazing and a recently renewed front thatched roof & ridge.
A treatment plant was installed around two years ago, while both woodburning stoves have been lined and are regularly swept.
Outside, an enclosed courtyard leads up to a lawned garden with mature planting and views across the surrounding farmland.
There is also a large timber shed, substantial timber-built garage/workshop and parking for around four vehicles.
With the village shop, pub, primary school and village amenities all close by, this is a lovely combination of traditional cottage character, practical living space and a peaceful countryside setting.
