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
Nestled within mature and private grounds in the sought-after village of Aston Rowant, Mead House is an impressive detached family residence extending to approximately 254 sq m, complemented by a substantial detached outbuilding of around 39 sq m.
Offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and create a magnificent family home in a highly desirable Chilterns setting.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a welcoming entrance hall, an exceptional dual-aspect sitting room extending to almost 30 feet in length, a separate dining room, spacious kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room, cloakroom and an additional reception room ideal as a study, playroom or ground-floor bedroom.
A striking conservatory overlooks the gardens, providing a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining throughout the year.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom facilities.
A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, whilst extensive fitted storage enhances practicality.
Externally, Mead House enjoys beautifully established grounds with mature trees, lawns, ornamental planting and a variety of secluded seating areas.
The gardens create a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity and feature a charming watercourse crossed by decorative bridges, adding character and interest to the outdoor space.
A substantial detached outbuilding provides excellent potential for use as a workshop, studio, gym, home office or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
To the front, a large gravel driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles and leads to an integral double garage.
Aston Rowant is one of South Oxfordshire's most highly regarded villages, situated at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The nearby market town of Watlington provides a range of everyday amenities, whilst excellent road connections via the M40 offer convenient access to Oxford, High Wycombe, London and the wider motorway network.
