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
An excellent opportunity to purchase this three-bedroom semi-detached house, tucked away along a bridle path in the peaceful hamlet of Metcombe.
The property enjoys a semi-rural setting while remaining conveniently close to the nearby villages of West Hill and Tipton St John.
Requiring renovation, the accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, living room, and kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property benefits from double-glazed windows and gas central heating; however, the boiler is currently disconnected and will require replacement. Offered with no onward chain.
Outside To the side of the property there is parking for up to two cars, while the raised gardens to the rear and side offer great potential but are in need of cultivation.
Directions On entering Tipton St John village, go past the pub, continue on and turn left by The Sundial Nursing Home, sign posted Metcombe, continue along, and you will see 2 pairs of semi-detached houses on your left.
Immediately after is the access to the property (you will see a sign indicating a public bridleway), the track bends to the left and the property is on your right.
Location Metcombe is a small hamlet adjacent to Tipton St John which is a small village within the Otter Valley, offering a beautiful rural location with excellent local amenities which include a highly regarded primary school, award-winning restaurant/public house, church and village hall.
The large recreational park, tennis courts and cricket pavilion provide a perfect village set up. There are lovely river walks and the surrounding countryside offers an idyllic setting.
The village is equal in distance from the traditional market town of Ottery St Mary and the Regency coastal town of Sidmouth.
