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 On St Just's pretty, and traffic-free Lafrowda Terrace, is this handsome, double-fronted cottage with bay windows and the benefit of a small barn in the rear garden that would make a fantastic workspace or studio.
Approached across a cottage-style garden to the front, the cottage has a granite flagstone hallway that connects the two large reception rooms - both rooms stretch front to back with windows at either end, making this an incredibly bright home!
The reception room to the left is an open plan kitchen/living space with a good-size utility/laundry room to the rear.
To the first floor are three great-size double bedrooms; the largest of which has an ensuite shower room and a bay window with sash sliding windows.
There is a family bathroom also off the landing which is lit by a landing window halfway up the turning stairs.
To the rear of the property is a courtyard garden with two stone-built storage sheds and a small, but useful barn building that would make a fantastic home office, studio, or possibly extra living space subject to any permissions needed.
