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
Two cottages with holiday let consents and an income stream. Agricultural grazing land, bluebell woodlands and productive vineyard. Extending in total to 14.86 acres.
The Cottages are situated just to the east of the main residence and comprise two separate holiday let units, The Old Stables and Grooms Cottage.
The Old Stables is over a single storey and comprises Open Plan Living Accommodation with a single Bedroom and Bathroom.
Grooms Cottage is over two storeys providing Two Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms and Open Plan Living Accommodation on the ground floor.
These cottages provide an additional income stream for the Vendor and have been developed to a high specification fit out.
Further east from the cottages and part of the same lot is the vineyard which is directly accessible from the road to the north.
The vineyard was planted in 2007 with the standard sparkling wine/champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The crop varies on a yearly basis depending on the weather but provides a significant opportunity for an incoming purchaser to expand the business.
The grapes are currently produced and sold on the open market to wine producers across the country.
In addition to the vineyard there is additional paddocked agricultural land which is currently grazed by livestock by a local farmer on a handshake agreement.
The paddock to the south of the vineyard (3.11 acres) has potential for planting with further vines if required.
There is a small area of wood to the south and east of the cottages providing a break between the vineyard and holiday cottages.
The overall acreage of Lot 2 including the cottages, vineyard, land and woodland is 14.86 acres.
Additional paddock land and an agricultural building not included in the sale may be available by separate negotiation and adjoins this Lot.
Please see the property particulars for further information on boundary plans, floor plans, services, planning, council tax and EPCs. Lot 2 – Guide Price: £500,000
