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 three bedroom holiday home in 36 acres of communal grounds close to Lyme Regis.
The Property - Fernhill Heights lies to the centre of the Fernhill estate that comprises a number of holiday homes within some wonderful grounds close to Lyme Regis.
The property is in outstanding condition throughout and offers the choice of some unusually good walking from the property itself or indeed the beach and coastal resort of Lyme Regis, a short drive away.
The property is simply laid out with the principal living room to the front of the property comprising a sitting area, dining area and a kitchen area.
The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary floor and wall mounted units and cupboards with integral appliances (mostly Neff) that include an induction hob, combination fan oven/microwave, a fridge and a dishwasher.
There are three bedrooms, 2 being doubles and a third a single. The rear bedroom is the principal bedroom and all three bedrooms are served by a bathroom with a shower over the bath.
The property has a traditional central heating system equipped with an electric boiler and contemporary UPVC double glazing.

There is communal parking for cars.
Situation - The property lies just outside the charming seaside village of Charmouth, which has a number of good shops, public houses and restaurants to its centre and lies midway between the former rope-making town of Bridport to the east and the Devon carpet making town of Axminster to the west.
