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.

*STUNNING DETACHED HOME WITH A GARAGE AND COURTYARD ENJOYING DUAL ASPECT OVER THE VILLAGE GREEN!
Beautifully designed and generously proportioned Grade II Listed home, built in the 18th century, at the heart of Staindrop village.
This gem of a home offers charm and character from the outset and blends tastefully between original features and modern living.
This is a rare find – a detached house with garage on the village green, centrally positioned amidst Staindrop’s excellent facilities including the village hall, general store, post office/newsagents, doctor’s surgery, hairdressers, the children’s play area and the local pub and midway between the village’s primary and secondary schools.
Upstairs the home formally had 4 bedrooms but the current owners have adapted the space to create a large open plan Master Bedroom and dressing area.
Staindrop is a peaceful location and a popular village ideally situated for easy access to local towns of Darlington, Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle.
There are also some very pleasant tea rooms in the village, not to mention the beautiful historic Raby Castle.

As part of this, there are multiple requirements that agents must rigorously and consistently meet to ensure they stay compliant with the regulations and protect their clients.
To do this, we use an identity verification service, approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF).
This method and the process we follow to ensure compliance for your transaction come with significant time, financial and legal implications hence a portion of this is passed on to our clients.
We elected for this verification process due to the speed, certainty, and accuracy it delivers.
This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC.
