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
Occupying a generous plot, Lynton is a detached home with a separate self-contained annex, offering four bedrooms in total — three within the main house and a further bedroom within the annex.
Requiring modernisation throughout, the property presents an exciting opportunity for a buyer to create a home tailored to their own requirements, while the existing annex provides considerable flexibility.
The main house opens into a central entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and access leading through to the principal reception rooms.
Positioned at the front, the spacious living room features a bay window and fireplace, creating a characterful focal point with plenty of natural light.
To the rear is a separate dining room, with sliding doors opening into the conservatory. Added to the property in 1997, the conservatory provides an additional reception space overlooking the garden.
The kitchen is accessed beyond the dining area and completes the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, the main house offers three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom and second bedroom are both generous dual-aspect rooms, with windows to the front or rear complemented by additional side windows.
The third bedroom is a single room, while the family bathroom is fitted with an electric shower and houses the property's combination boiler, installed in 2014.
Outside, the property occupies a generous plot with gardens extending around the house.
Established privacy planting provides a good degree of seclusion, while the front of the property offers parking for multiple vehicles.
The rear garden is home to the property's detached self-contained annex, constructed in 1981.
Offering its own kitchen, bathroom, lounge and bedroom, the annex provides genuinely versatile accommodation separate from the main house.
It has its own separate council tax band and is heated by electric storage radiators installed in 2019. The flat roof was replaced in 2018.
The annex could be particularly useful for those looking to accommodate an older child or family member while retaining a degree of independence.
Equally, it could provide dedicated space for guests, hobbies or working from home, subject to the buyer's intended use and any necessary permissions.
Lynton is therefore a property offering both scale and flexibility, with the main residence providing a three-bedroom family layout and the separate annex adding an additional self-contained living arrangement.
For buyers prepared to undertake modernisation, it offers the opportunity to create a substantial home with adaptable accommodation in a generous setting.
