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.

Description North Hayne Farm commands an elevated position, enjoying a peaceful and highly attractive rural setting with superb views across its own land.
The farmhouse itself is a charming and characterful traditional property, constructed of stone elevations and set within approximately 37.36 acres of land in total together with an extensive range of stone outbuildings.
The land comprises a productive mix of pasture and amenity land, well suited to agriculture, equestrian smallholding or lifestyle use.
The house offers well-proportioned accommodation with a wealth of inherent character and has benefitted from a programme of works undertaken by the current owners to improve and enhance the property.
These improvements provide a strong foundation while still allowing clear scope for further modernisation or reconfiguration, giving purchasers the opportunity to tailor the home to their own requirements.
The vendors have secured planning permission for the construction of a single-storey extension (further details available via the Mid Devon planning portal, reference 23/01618/house), presenting an excellent opportunity to enlarge the living accommodation and further enhance the overall property.
Complementing the farmhouse is a useful range of outbuildings, offering flexibility for storage, workshops, or potential conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
The combination of buildings and land creates a versatile holding with both practical and lifestyle appeal.
The property is well served by attractive front and rear gardens, providing ample outdoor space for both enjoyment and recreation.
In addition, the property benefits from an established orchard including mature apple trees and a further newly planted variety of fruit trees, including apple and pear varieties, as well as an assortment of soft fruit trees.
Accommodation With approximately 283 sq. Metres (3,048 sq.
Ft.) of internal space, this charming farmhouse offers a highly versatile layout, combining traditional character with practical family living.
The property is currently arranged as a four-bedroom farmhouse with an adjoining one-bedroom annexe, providing a self-contained living space ideal for guests, extended family or potential rental use.
Equally, it could be readily reconfigured to create a spacious five-bedroom single family home.
The ground floor is well designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring two principal reception rooms, currently arranged as a dining room and main sitting room.
The sitting room leads through to a kitchen with adjoining breakfast room on one side, while to the other are a utility room and former tack room, forming part of the adjoining traditional barn.
This area also benefits from planning permission for a single-storey extension, offering excellent scope to enhance and reconfigure the ground floor accommodation.
In addition, there is a further kitchen and sitting room, forming the ground floor of the annexe.
On the first floor, the main staircase leads to four generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, all arranged off a central landing.
A second staircase provides access to the annexe accommodation, comprising a double bedroom with separate bathroom, completing the self-contained living space.
The Buildings The principal outbuilding has benefitted from significant recent investment, including the installation of a new roof and substantial rebuilding works, ensuring it is structurally sound and well-preserved for future use.
In addition, there are a number of further outbuildings of varying size and construction, which provide scope for a myriad of uses, such as workshops, storage, livestock housing, or hobby and leisure space, and may also offer potential for alternative uses or conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.
