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
Nestled on the banks of the River Severn in picturesque Shropshire, this charming two-bedroom boathouse holiday cottage presents an excellent investment opportunity in the heart of historic Ironbridge.
Celebrated as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Ironbridge has evolved into a tranquil tourist haven centred around Abraham Darby’s world-famous Iron Bridge.
Despite its peaceful setting, the town is only a short drive from vibrant Telford, with its extensive shopping centre, retail parks, supermarkets, railway station, and easy motorway access.
Full residential occupation is permitted April - Oct, or holiday let all year round. The Boathouse is offered fully furnished and already has bookings secured for the upcoming tourist season.
Accommodating up to six guests, it makes a superb choice for fishing and boating enthusiasts, benefiting from three concrete moorings and direct fishing rights to the rear.
The property features a private car park at the front, a paved riverside terrace complete with barbecue, pizza oven and outdoor fireplace, plus an additional paved area with useful storage facilities.
A successful canoe hire business has also been operated from this site for a number of years, adding to its versatility and appeal.
All in all, this is a rare and very interesting opportunity to acquire a proven holiday let in a sought-after riverside setting within one of Shropshire’s most historic and desirable locations.
The owner estimates a possible £40,000 annual income.
Please note this property is located in close proximity to the River Severn and has previously flooded, there are plans for permanent flood barriers to be installed.
