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
Description Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to the market a charming semi-detached home situated just moments from the River Dart and the highly sought-after village of Staverton.
The property offers modern, well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors, along with a versatile studio/office located to the rear.
A particular feature of the home is the walled garden, which backs onto the Dartington Estate woodland, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting.
Riverwood is approached via a shared driveway and benefits from two allocated parking spaces.
The private, enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for low maintenance, featuring a spacious patio area, a striking focal-point tree, and a variety of mature shrubs and planting that provide year-round interest.
The ground floor comprises an inviting hallway giving access to a double bedroom, a cloakroom (W.C.), and a stylish open-plan living space. The bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden.
The living area has been tastefully arranged and features new sliding doors opening onto the garden, a newly installed wood burner, and a beautiful new picture window that fills the space with natural light.
The modern kitchen has recently been renovated with new Porcelain floor tiles, hob and extractor fan as well as a beautiful double sink.
The tasteful range of wall and base units is complemented by hardwood work surfaces and tiled splashbacks.
It includes a gas hob with extractor above, an integrated eye-level oven, space for a full-height fridge freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine.
A useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage. Staverton Staverton lies on the northern edge of the South Hams in the beautiful rural triangle between Totnes, Ashburton and Newton Abbot.
The name Staverton or Stouretona means 'the village of stoney ford'. The ford, an ancient crossing many centuries old provided a route from the village to Dartington.
In 1413 the very elegant Staverton Bridge was built.
The village has a parish church, the well-known Sea Trout Inn, a primary school, St Christopher's Nursey and Preparatory School and playing fields with tennis courts.
The surrounding countryside and the River Dart provide wonderful opportunities for the country enthusiast including splendid walks, riding and fishing.
Close by are Dartington Hall, which has worldwide renown as a centre of excellence for music and the performing arts, and the acclaimed Riverford Field Kitchen restaurant.
Together with Dartmoor to the west, the Devon Riviera to the east and the South Hams to the south, the area is host to a wide choice of recreational and sporting facilities.
Both the A38 at Ashburton (3m) and the market town of Totnes (5m) are within easy reach. The sea is 12 miles away and the blue badge awarded Blackpool Sands beach is 16 miles.
