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.

A Rare Opportunity To Acquire A Characterful Two-Bedroom Sandstone Cottage, Located Off Clyde Street Charming Sandstone Cottage with Generous Gardens & Potential A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful two-bedroom sandstone cottage, located off Clyde Street in a peaceful Kirn location.
Featuring spacious, mature gardens, a garage, and versatile loft rooms, this property offers incredible potential as a family home or a tranquil retirement retreat.
Tucked away along a quiet lane just off Clyde Street, No. 2 Leven Lane is a charming sandstone cottage that enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy.
Set within a generous plot, the home is surrounded by well-established gardens and offers a flexible layout that would benefit from some upgrading to reach its full potential.
Upon entering, a spacious hallway leads to all principal rooms.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan sitting and dining room, which feels bright and airy thanks to a large bay window overlooking the front garden.
This room features a traditional stone-built fire surround with an electric fire, creating a cosy focal point. The dining area is timber-clad and provides access to the upper floor.
The kitchen is situated to the rear, boasting windows on three sides that flood the space with light and provide lovely views of the garden.
It is well-equipped with ample cabinetry, an integrated gas hob, and an electric oven, with a back door leading directly out to a patio area-perfect for morning coffee.
Accommodation The ground floor hosts two well-proportioned bedrooms.
Bedroom one is a bright front-facing room with a recessed cupboard and built-in wardrobe, while bedroom two overlooks the rear garden.
The shower room is conveniently located off the hall, featuring a walk-in shower with a glass splashback and a heated towel rail.
The upper floor, accessed via the dining room, adds significant versatility.
It comprises a large room with wooden flooring and twin Velux windows-ideal as a hobby room or potential additional bedroom-and a second, smaller room that serves perfectly as a home office.
External & Location The outdoor space is a particular highlight.
The property sits within a substantial plot with mature front and rear gardens featuring a mix of shrubs, bushes, and a good-sized lawn. The sale also includes a garage and off-road parking.
Agent’s Note No. 2 Leven Lane is attached to the neighbouring annexe, No. 2A, which is being sold under a separate title deed.
For the right buyer, there is a valuable opportunity to consider purchasing both properties together, creating excellent potential for holiday letting, Airbnb use, multi‐generational living or an extended family setup.
