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.

THE ANNEXE & GARDEN The garden annexe is self-contained with its own side entrance, keeping it fully separate from the main house — a genuine option for a home office, studio, or workshop without disrupting day-to-day family life.
It sits within a private rear garden that has its own independent access, with space for both entertaining and further landscaping.
This combination of village setting and fast London links may also appeal to a buyer considering the property for short-let use or as a small home-based office, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission and lender/insurer consent.
