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
Beautifully presented and extensively refurbished, this charming cottage offers a deceptive amount of space behind its traditional facade.
The interiors combine warmth and character with a surprisingly versatile layout - ideal for modern family living or entertaining.
High-quality finishes, exposed stonework and thoughtful details feature throughout, while the open-plan kitchen, living and dining space forms the heart of the home.
Set in a desirable village close to Oundle, the property enjoys a private south-facing garden, ample parking and a detached garage.
GROUND FLOOR The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room occupies an extended area of the house and has been transformed into a bright, inviting space designed for cooking, dining and entertaining.
Characterful features include an exposed stone wall, vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and generous natural light from multiple aspects.
The kitchen itself features Shaker-style cabinetry with quartz surfaces, an integrated dishwasher, induction hob, double electric oven, and windows overlooking two open front aspects.
The living and dining areas offer ample room for large furniture and has French doors leading directly to the garden.
The separate living room is a particularly comfortable space with a number of features including exposed beams, high ceilings, and a rebuilt fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.
A sash window to the front offers an open aspect and plenty of natural light.
A generous boot room/utility provides practical storage with fitted cabinetry, woodblock surfaces, space and plumbing for appliances and access to both the front and rear via a stable door and additional exterior door.
FIRST FLOOR Upstairs, a bright first floor landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double with a dual aspect and far-reaching countryside views, complemented by an en-suite shower room featuring an oversized shower enclosure, white sanitaryware, a heated towel rail and an exposed stone wall.
Bedroom two is another comfortable double with fitted storage and a window to the south aspect, while bedroom three, currently being used as a home office, has a sash window framing lovely views over open countryside.
The family bathroom is tastefully fitted with a white three-piece suite, a heated towel rail, and an obscured window to the front aspect.
OUTSIDE The front garden is enclosed by a stone wall and features low-maintenance lawn and planting.
To the rear, the private garden wraps around the house and has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its southerly aspect, with stocked borders, a lawn, and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining.
A detached garage has been divided internally to create useful storage or hobby spaces, and a gravelled driveway provides parking for up to three cars behind an electric roller gate accessed directly from the lane.
