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
A spacious and light-filled home tucked away in a wonderful elevated location commanding spectacular views over Cranham Woods, with statement open-plan kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the tree tops, 4 bedrooms, landscaped garden and parking Description - Tucked away in a stunning elevated location, Fox Cottage is a detached stone cottage that has been lovingly renovated and extended to over double its original size, to create a truly exceptional spacious family home.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully laid out to maximise the sensational views, with an abundance of natural light, interspersed with cosy corners.
Clad in cedar wood, the home blends seamlessly with the surrounding beauty. The kitchen/breakfast room, is clearly the heart of the home and a real statement room in which to entertain.
Floor to ceiling glazing runs along the front of the room, overlooking the tree tops of Cranham Woods and creating a fabulous backdrop for hosting family and friends.
There is room for a good-sized dining table and a large centre island creates plenty of space for food preparation, as well as additional seating. Fitted units provide plentiful, discreet storage.
A large utility/boot room, offers the perfect space for muddy boots and country paraphernalia and a useful area to hide away laundry.
The sitting room also benefits from glazed doors, opening to the panorama, making the room a wonderful space to relax with a book, whilst working equally well for entertaining.
A second reception/snug is located in the original part of the cottage, dating back to the 1830s, with aged beams, deep oak window sills and a wood burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings.
A cloakroom is a useful addition to the ground floor.
Three bedrooms are located on the lower ground floor, the principal with a sliding door opening to the garden, together with an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom is also located at this level.
All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide comfort, alongside practical living and all with lovely views over the garden and woods.
A fourth bedroom (currently used as a home office) is located in the original part of the house and accessed via a staircase off the boot room.
The grounds are set to the rear and side of the house and the tiered garden has been beautifully landscaped to include a host of well-stocked borders, waterfall feature, raised vegetable plots and pretty paths lined with dry stone walls.
A large, detached, studio/workshop, is located in the garden, insulated and with power supply, together with a purpose-built, children's playhouse and a greenhouse.
Two parking spaces are located on the front side of the property and a plot of land to the side of the property, offers the potential to create further parking, or to extend/build (subject to planning).
