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 charming three-bedroom period cottage, believed to date back to the 18th century, thoughtfully extended and updated to create a stylish and characterful family home.
Set in the sought-after village of Hurst, the property offers a perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience, surrounded by open countryside and close to the River Loddon and Dinton Pastures Country Park.
The accommodation blends period character with contemporary design.
A spacious living room features exposed beams, brickwork and a wood-burning stove, with oak flooring throughout and an open staircase with glass balustrade.
The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home with a lantern roof and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.
A separate snug or guest room provides flexibility, alongside a cloakroom/utility room. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
The property also benefits from a garage, private driveway, workshop and established private garden.
The private rear garden features a paved patio, ideal for entertaining, and is mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders that lead to an area of timber decking, positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun.
There is also a useful shed, plus a garage with attached workshop that can be accessed from both the side and rear. The property also benefits from driveway parking.
Hurst is a highly regarded village with a strong community feel, well-served by local amenities and excellent schooling, including St Nicholas’ C of E Primary School and the independent Dolphin School.
