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
Approached via a quiet country lane through the hamlet of Foxcote, Holmelands is a unique and characterful four-bedroom barn conversion offering generous living space and tremendous potential for improvement.
Brimming with period charm, this rare gem provides the perfect opportunity for buyers looking to personalise a substantial home in a peaceful and highly desirable rural location.
Inside, the sense of space is immediately apparent.
The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, flowing through to a superb principle reception room — a grand, double-aspect space filled with natural light and featuring exposed beams, stone detailing, and a striking fireplace at its heart.
A separate formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, connects seamlessly to the generous country-style kitchen, which in turn opens into a practical utility and boot room with access to the gardens.
A cloakroom and additional ground floor shower room add to the home’s functionality.
Upstairs, the flexible layout offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with enviable views across the surrounding gardens and countryside, with potential to complete an impressive principle room which already features a divide for en suite and dressing room.
The first floor also includes a family bathroom, with scope for updating to suit modern tastes.
A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the front of the house, with ample parking, gated access to the rear, and a large double garage.
The gardens are a true highlight: Just under two acres of mature lawned grounds part-bordered by dry stone walls and surrounded by open fields, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.
The land offers potential for a variety of uses — from formal landscaping and outdoor entertaining areas to equestrian or smallholding possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.
While the property would benefit from updating, it offers a rare combination of size, charm, and setting — unlisted, with vast scope to improve and extend if desired, all offered with no onward chain.
Foxcote is a hamlet located in the Mendip Hills in Somerset, an area of outstanding natural beauty with rolling hills and open countryside providing rural walks and cycling.
The World Heritage City of Bath (approx.
8 miles) provides a complete range of retail outlets together with many other amenities including The Theatre Royal, a number of fine restaurants and excellent sporting facilities.
There is also a mainline railway station providing direct access to London Paddington, Bristol and south Wales.
