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
Any discussion surrounding Boston's most sought-after locations would inevitably include a mention of Rawsons Lane and deservedly so, given that it feels more like a country lane than one on the outskirts of our bustling market town.
What makes the location of Spring Cottage in particular so special is the simply stunning un-interrupted parkland views to the rear - it's a picturesque expanse of mature trees and pastureland, which offers a real feeling of privacy - except perhaps for the occasional grazing cattle.
The property itself is set back and somewhat obscured by established trees, but even glimpsed through the lovely garden it looks undeniably substantial from the road.
Even so, viewers will still be pleasantly surprised by the scale of the accommodation, which is in part a reflection of the extension into the first floor by the current owners, which added two further double rooms and an additional shower room.
The owners were naturally keen to update and adapt the house during their ownership to suit their own tastes, and in addition to the first floor conversion, further work included three new bathroom suites, Oak doors throughout the ground floor and redesigning the kitchen.
In the latter, the sellers have succeeded in creating a spacious and comfortable family space with ample room for cooking, dining and (by way of an interconnecting 2nd lounge) relaxing in front of the incredible views over the rear garden.
The main lounge and dining room and are a similarly terrific size and also enjoy views over the parkland.
All five bedrooms, are doubles, two of which have an en-suite, with the master bedroom including a full bathroom suite.
The remaining downstairs bedrooms are served by a further shower room and a cloakroom.
Viewers will also be pleased to note that in addition to the aesthetic remodelling, the owners have invested considerably in the energy efficiency of the property.
This includes new windows, adding solar panels, an air source heat pump for the hot water, replacement boiler and an EV charging point for electric vehicles.
