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
Welcome to Holly Cottage , a beautiful and characterful home tucked away on Widows Row, Laughterton (LN1 2LA) Offering approximately 1,300 sq ft of accommodation, this charming freehold cottage dates back to around 1890 , with an extension added circa 1980 , blending period charm with the space and versatility that modern buyers are looking for.
From the moment you arrive, the property sets the tone with fantastic kerb appeal - a mature garden frontage and a generous gravel driveway providing multiple vehicle off-road parking (enough sace for around 8 cars) A real standout feature here is the range of timber outbuildings: Three wooden-built storage cabins/garages , all with electrics, offering superb flexibility.
Currently, one is used as a home office, the second as a store room, and the third as a garage - and importantly, these structures will remain, making them ideal for home working, hobbies, storage or workshop space.
Step inside via the side entrance and you are welcomed into a useful utility room , which adjoins the kitchen/breakfast room Both spaces are finished with matching fitted units, integrated appliances, and the kitchen is perfectly complemented by a beautiful Bordeaux-coloured Rangemaster cooker - a real focal point for anyone who loves to cook and entertain.
From the kitchen, the home flows through into a bright dining area filled with natural light, featuring exposed beams and a charming brick-surround fireplace (currently with an electric fire).
Continue through and you’ll find the spacious lounge, where a log burner with brick surround creates a cosy, inviting focal point - perfect for winter evenings.
Adjoining the lounge is a lovely sun room, again filled with light, with French doors opening out to the garden , creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection in the warmer months.
The ground floor is completed by the main entrance porch and a convenient WC Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms , with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes , along with a family bathroom.
In practical terms, the property is of brick and block construction with a pantile roof The owners have also completed various improvements over time including replacement windows, conservatory, kitchen and bathroom updates, and early 2026 saw a couple of damaged roof tiles replaced.
Heating is provided via oil central heating alongside the log burner, with the boiler installed in April 2021 , under warranty.
The owners have also advised that the property may sit within a wider flood plain area of the River Trent, however in their 22-year tenure this has never posed any problem or risk.
Holly Cottage is a home that offers charm, warmth and flexibility in equal measure - with standout outbuildings, generous parking, and beautifully characterful living spaces.
