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.

Freehold Situation & Amenities - Combe Martin is a popular coastal village, set in a fertile valley located where Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty meet.
The approach along the coastal road offers glimpses of stunning scenery. Combe Martin itself is an ideal centre for walking, and has the 630-mile South West Coastal Path going through it.
The village offers a range of amenities including post office, school, pubs and local shops, etc, as well as bus services linking to other local centres, including Ilfracombe (which is approximately 10 minutes away and provides access to more extensive facilities including supermarkets).
Other than Combe Martin beach itself, other local sandy surfing beaches include Croyde, Saunton (also with Championship Golf Course), Putsborough and Woolacombe, all within easy access.
The regional centre of Barnstaple is about 13 miles away and houses the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as live theatre and district hospital.
At Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road, which leads on in a further 45 minutes or so to Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway and where Tiverton Parkway nearby offers fast service trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.
The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.
