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.

Step inside and the double-height vaulted reception immediately impresses — a light-filled central hub with exposed beams, oak staircase, and bi-folding doors opening to the gardens.
Entering the property you are greeted via a large spacious entrance room, leading to the centre piece of the home. To one side, you’ll find a cosy snug, formal sitting room, and large study.
To the other, a spectacular kitchen/breakfast room, complete with granite-topped island, larder, and additional spacious utility room as well as wet room.
To the front and rear of the grand central staircase, there are bi-folding doors, flooding the room with natural light and bringing the garden into the room.
Upstairs, five generous double bedrooms are arranged off the galleried landing, with the principal suite enjoying fitted wardrobes and a sleek en-suite.
