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
Blue Barn Farmhouse is an attractive period property showcasing traditional stone elevations with mullion windows beneath a clay-tiled roof.
The property offers over 2,500 sq ft of beautifully presented, sensitively modernised accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining a wealth of heritage features.
The welcoming reception hall, featuring a traditional stable door and decorative tiling, leads to two principal reception rooms.
The generous sitting room is centred around an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while the double-aspect drawing room provides an attractive retreat, also featuring an inglenook fireplace.
To the rear, the kitchen and breakfast room is well appointed with bespoke cabinetry, ample work surfaces and a range-style cooker with extractor hood over, complemented by space for informal dining.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a light-filled inner hall with bespoke fitted shelving provides an attractive and practical transition area. Stairs from the front hall lead down to a useful cellar.
The first floor provides a spacious principal bedroom with an original fireplace, a dressing room and an en suite bathroom featuring a roll-top claw-foot bath.
A further bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while another bedroom has an en suite WC.
On the second floor, a striking fourth bedroom spans the full length of the house, showcasing the exposed structural timber frame and enhanced by rustic wood flooring and skylights that flood the space with natural light.
This floor also includes an en suite bathroom. The farmhouse is approached via secure iron gates opening onto a broad gravel driveway, leading to a substantial timber-framed carport.
A detached outbuilding incorporates a utility room, boiler room and additional storage.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedgerows, with a paved patio area ideal for al fresco dining while enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Wiltshire countryside, including the iconic Westbury White Horse.
Blue Barn Farmhouse enjoys a peaceful rural setting at Lamberts Marsh, on the outskirts of Southwick, a well-regarded village offering a range of everyday amenities including a shop, primary school and public houses.
The nearby towns of Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon provide a wider selection of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, while the Georgian city of Bath is within easy reach, offering an excellent cultural and retail offering.
The area is well served by a choice of highly regarded schools, including Monkton Combe, Prior Park College and Kingswood in Bath, as well as Stonar and Dauntsey’s.
Communications are good, with rail services from Trowbridge and Westbury providing links to Bath, Bristol and London Paddington, and convenient access to the A36 and A350 connecting to the wider motorway network.
