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
Situated in a quiet rural setting, with views towards Blencathra, to the fringe of the Lake District National Park, handy for the village of Hesket Newmarket, a link detached family home, with flexible living space, 3 bedrooms, private gardens and paddock, in all circa 1.24 acres.
Offered with no onward chain, Holly Bush is a charming former farmhouse, with origins dating back to 1684.
Well maintained in neutral decorative order, it offers generous and versatile accommodation with excellent scope for updating, set in a highly desirable rural location just outside the northern fells section of the Lake District National Park.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, sitting room with multifuel stove, dining room (potential fourth bedroom) served by a modern wet room, and a kitchen/dining room with adjoining utility.
The former byre has been beautifully converted into a second reception room with vaulted ceiling, wood-burning stove and a picture window framing views over the paddock to the fells beyond.
A useful store completes this wing. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and five-piece ensuite bathroom, plus a further bathroom and separate WC.
Externally, the property is approached via a shared lane leading to a private driveway with ample parking and turning space.
The rear garden is landscaped with drystone walling and a suntrap patio, while an adjoining paddock sits to the side.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural home in a peaceful and picturesque setting, early viewing is strongly recommended.
Directions From Carlisle head through Dalston towards Caldbeck, taking the left turn onto the B5305 after Welton. After approximately 3 miles turn right towards Hesket Newmarket.
Take the first left and the lane to the property is on the right hand side after 450 metres.
