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
Victorian house in sought after rural location Description Lower Farm is situated just outside the tranquil village of Harkstead, in a sought after part of the Shotley Peninsula.
The property itself dates back to the mid 1800s and sits centrally within its plot of 0.3 acres and is surrounded by lawned gardens.
Typical of this period the rooms have high ceilings and well proportioned rooms.
The ground floor offers a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, while a wide staircase rises to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms.
