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 at the base of the much-admired Wraxall Vineyard, The Old Vines, Plot 5 at The Vinings forms part of an exclusive collection of just seven thoughtfully designed homes, perfectly positioned to capture uninterrupted, far-reaching views across the rolling South Somerset countryside.
Each property at The Vinings has been crafted with both longevity and everyday comfort in mind.
Light-filled interiors flow effortlessly throughout, with engineered oak flooring across the ground floor providing a natural foundation, complemented by a palette of warm, timeless finishes.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed shaker-style kitchen, finished in a soft, elegant ‘Porcelain’ tone.
This is paired with Motion Grey Silestone worktops and a generous breakfast bar, ideal for casual dining or entertaining.
The final look of the cabinetry is elevated with solid bronze hardware from Corston Architecture, alongside practical features including deep pan drawers, wine storage and subtle under-counter lighting.
Integrated appliances include an oven from AEG, an induction hob by Smeg with extractor, plus a fridge freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler by Lamona, as well as a useful built-in larder.
On entering the home, a thoughtfully designed area provides space for coats and shoes, adding everyday practicality.
Porcelanosa tiles from Porcelanosa feature in the WC, main bathroom and en-suite, while the bedrooms are finished with soft 100% wool Hereford boucle loop carpets for added comfort.
The beautifully appointed staircase, painted in ‘Carob’ by Benjamin Moore, creates a rich and characterful focal point within the hallway.
This is complemented by a herringbone sisal runner in ‘Copper’ with a linen trim, adding texture and a refined visual contrast.
The bathrooms and en-suite continue the cohesive design language, featuring Porcelanosa wall tiles, sanitaryware and fittings to create calm, contemporary spaces with lasting appeal.
Comfort is assured throughout the seasons with underfloor heating across the ground floor, radiators to the first-floor bedrooms and landing, and heated towel rails in the bathrooms.
Internally, a soft, natural colour palette flows throughout this three-bedroom home, with walls finished in Dulux Bleached Lichen 3, paired with contrasting skirtings and architraves that complete a home that feels both welcoming and design-led.
Outside Each home at The Vinings benefits from a private patio, outside tap and parking.
The setting itself is a defining feature – countryside walks, open skies and ever-changing countryside views forming a daily backdrop from the back garden hedge-line.
