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
Property Description A delightful three-bedroom period cottage revealing deceptively spacious accommodation, thoughtfully extended and comprehensively modernised by the current owner over the years.
In addition to the ground-floor extension, the works included complete rewiring, a new roof, replacement windows, two new bathrooms, damp-proofing and the installation of a high-end kitchen, resulting in a charming home that successfully combines character features with comfortable modern living.
Benefiting from LPG central heating, the accommodation briefly comprises: To the ground floor, entrance with staircase to the first floor opens into a generous dual-aspect living room with windows to both the front and rear elevations, enjoying far-reaching countryside views.
A striking open fireplace with rustic brick surround and chimney breast forms an attractive focal point to the room.
Leading from the living room, the separate dining room provides a cosy second reception space, featuring a character corner fireplace with wood-burning stove, ample space for a dining table and chairs and original ceiling meat hooks.
The property enjoys a quality bespoke fitted kitchen, appointed with an extensive range of wall and base units, granite work surfaces and integrated Miele appliances including an oven, microwave, warming drawer, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility cloak room with matching cabinetry, plumbing for white goods and a W.C.
A rear entrance door providing direct access to the garden, driveway and detached garage. Positioned to the front of the property, the ground-floor bedroom offers exceptional flexibility.
Fitted with bespoke furniture and a concealed fold-away bed, the room can easily function as either a third bedroom or an additional reception room.
The room benefits from an en-suite wet room with newly installed shower, making it ideal for guests and multi-generational living.
To the first floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a characterful principal bedroom with exposed beams, renewed during the re-roofing works.
The third bedroom retains an original feature fireplace and both are served by a modern house bathroom.
Outside, the property occupies a peaceful position on Chapel Street within the popular village of Cattal.
Set back from the road, the cottage stands within a generous and private garden plot with driveway parking for multiple vehicles leading to a detached double garage with light and power laid on.
At the head of the garden sits a charming Amdega conservatory complete with a modern anti-glare, heat-deflecting roof, providing a wonderful additional living and entertaining space overlooking the beautifully maintained gardens.
Traditional cottage garden established over many years featuring an abundance of mature planting, creating a particularly attractive and easy to care for private outdoor environment.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained period home that combines historic charm with extensive modern improvements, situated within a sought-after village location offering excellent access to both road and rail networks.
The current owner has enjoyed the speed, ease and simplicity in all weathers of commuting to York station and into central London for over 20 years.
"I could catch the 3pm train from Kings Cross and be opening my front door by 5:30pm" Early viewing is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
