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
Holly Cottage is an enchanting mid-terrace period cottage with stone elevations beneath a slate roof.
Description The property showcases an abundance of character including original stone fireplace with log burner, ceiling beams and exposed stone wall features.
The charming accommodation consists of a spacious sitting room with the aforementioned feature fireplace which in turn leads to the farmhouse style kitchen.
An electric Aga highlights the room opposite a Belfast sink sitting in a granite worktop and a range of fitted shaker-style units.
There is also a cute bench seat here bordered by wood panelling and a stable door leading outside.
Hidden behind a door are the stairs leading from the sitting room to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
Attached to the rear of the cottage (and accessed by its own external door) is the studio room/store room with light and power connected which would lend itself to a variety of uses including a guest room or home office.
The former external store has been converted to accommodate an outside WC, also with light and power connected and would therefore benefit the guest suite or office opportunity.
Outside, and just across a shared pathway is the private courtyard garden and BBQ area laid to stone and with views to the village church.
The shared path then winds its way to the main (secret) garden which is a private lawned oasis surrounded my mature shrubs and trees with beautiful views down the valley.
Within this part of the garden is a large timber shed and separate summerhouse. This delightful cottage is offered with no onward chain.
