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
Probably dating from the Georgian era, this utterly delightful two-bedroom cottage enjoys a picturesque setting beside the beck, tucked away just off St Helen's Street in a peaceful lane.
Despite its tranquil position, it offers quick and easy access to the vibrant Market Place, where you’ll find a wonderful bakery for your morning coffee and fresh bread, along with an excellent selection of bars and independent shops.
The property itself oozes character and charm, with period features and a warm, inviting feel throughout.
Arranged over three floors, it provides generous space and exciting scope to refurbish and refit.
While already full of personality, it offers even greater potential — simply waiting for someone with vision and imagination to complete the transformation and truly make it shine.
