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 stunning 17th Century attached character cottage, beautifully refurbished throughout to an exceptional standard, offering an enviable blend of period charm and contemporary comfort.
This delightful four bedroom home is rich in original features including exposed timber beamed ceilings and a magnificent inglenook fireplace, whilst benefitting from modern improvements and stylish updated interiors.
Set within a highly favoured village location, the property provides spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, perfectly suited to both family living and those seeking character in abundance.
Approaching the property, the cottage immediately impresses with its attractive period façade and welcoming charm.
A covered porch provides an inviting entrance, ideal for coats and boots, before leading into the breakfast area which creates a lovely informal dining space and naturally flows through to the beautifully refitted kitchen.
Thoughtfully designed with both practicality and style in mind, the kitchen offers an excellent range of units and work surfaces whilst retaining the character expected from a home of this era.
From here, the accommodation opens into a generous central foyer which provides access to the principal ground floor rooms.
To one side is a spacious ground floor bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or use as a home office if required.
Adjacent is a well-appointed bathroom finished in a contemporary style.
The true heart of the home is the impressive sitting room, a wonderfully proportioned reception space full of character and atmosphere.
Exposed beams and the striking inglenook fireplace create a superb focal point, making this an ideal room for both relaxing evenings and entertaining alike.
Natural light pours into the room and continues through to the adjoining sun room, a peaceful additional reception area overlooking the garden and offering an ideal spot to enjoy all seasons.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor landing where three further bedrooms can be found.
Each room enjoys its own individual character with charming cottage proportions and pleasant outlooks, whilst a WC conveniently serves the upper floor accommodation.
Outside, the property enjoys a wonderfully private and generously sized rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and ideal for both families and entertaining.
A substantial decking area provides the perfect space for outdoor dining and socialising, complete with a hot tub creating a superb setting to relax and unwind.
Surrounded by mature boundaries, the garden offers an excellent degree of privacy.
Having been newly refurbished throughout, the property is ready for immediate occupation whilst still retaining the immense charm and authenticity of its 17th Century origins.
