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
Grayson Florence Property open every day until 10pm A renovated four or five bedroom cottage with a £40k holiday let income and space to spare Behind the walls of this semi-detached cottage on the Trowbridge to Bradford Road is a home that has been completely renovated and is in immaculate condition.
It has 2,133 sq ft of living space, plus a 236 sq ft double garage, on a plot of over 5,700 sq ft and it has been run as a successful holiday cottage, so it works just as well as a family home or an income producing investment.
Step in through the mosaic tiled entrance hall and the house opens up.
The kitchen is the heart of it, with a breakfast bar for the whole crew, double oven, dishwasher and bi-fold doors that pull the garden right into the room.
Next to it is the lounge at over 6m long, with exposed brickwork and a fireplace. It's built for big gatherings and slow Sunday afternoons.
The dining room at the front has its own fireplace and steps up to a snug with built-in shelving either side of another fireplace. Beyond that is an office area for working from home.
There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, and one of them works just as well as a study, playroom or home office if you'd rather keep it at four bedrooms.
You also get a utility and a shower room down here, which makes the ground floor ideal for guests, older relatives or teenagers who want their own space.
Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two doubles at the front and a twin at the rear, along with a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate corner shower.
Outside, the southwest facing walled cottage garden is a proper sun trap, with a patio, decked area and established plants and shrubs.
Two lean-tos give you covered seating or handy storage whatever the weather.
You also get off-road parking for two cars at the front and a large 236 sq ft double garage with direct access from the hallway. That is rare to find at this size of property.
The location is a short distance from both Trowbridge and Bradford on Avon. Currently run as a successful holiday let turning a profit of £40k. Our vendor is happy to share more details on request.
