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
We are delighted to present to market this beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, situated on a wonderfully peaceful location on the edge of Swanage.
The property boasts characterful features throughout and stunning views over the neighbouring farmland.
Believed to originate from the 18th Century, the property is built with original Purbeck stone and is a striking example of the distinctive, individual architecture.
The living room is immaculately presented, with bright, crisp white walls, and warm tones complimented by an original Purbeck stone feature wall and log burner.
Dual aspect windows with both Easterly and Westerly aspects provide plenty of natural sunshine as well as pretty outlooks over the front and rear gardens.
This is an ideal place to disconnect from the busy world and spend quality time with loved ones. Here there is space for a large sofa, coffee table, window seat and TV with console.
Throughout the cottage, charming details such as exposed ceiling beams, original fireplaces and Flagstone flooring reflect its heritage, exuding character and a deep-rooted feeling of home.
The hallway then flows into the kitchen/dining room. This is another bright and welcoming space which offers practicality and space.
It is the true heart of the home, with plenty of room to socialise whilst creating homecooked meals. The kitchen is fitted with a range of classic white units and compliments by a range-style cooker.
Two window nooks are nestled under the windows, an ideal spot to sit and enjoy your favourite tipple.
The elegant and classy décor continues into the boot room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and drier, with storage space and a display cabinet.
The boot room offers excellent versatility, which could serve as a dining area, snug or garden room.
A traditional stable door opens directly onto the rear garden, creating an easy connection between indoor living space and the outdoor surroundings.
The first floor is well-arranged across an unusually spacious landing that incorporates a range of built-in storage cupboards.
The accommodation is presented in the light and neutral palette of the home, this enhances the sense of space an allows the original features to take centre stage.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with dual aspect windows providing pleasant views across the garden.
Period features are continued with ornate exposed Purbeck stone walls, attractive Victorian fireplace and timber flooring.
The second bedroom is another good-sized double room, with a pretty window seat and space for a large TV and storage.
Bedroom three is again, well-proportioned, making ideal guest accommodation or a home office. The room is filled with natural light and there is convenient built in storage.
The family bathroom has been recently updated in a traditional style that compliments the character of the cottage. It comprises a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin, and W.C.
An additional, separate W.C., and washbasin, provides further convenience and privacy. Outside, the cottage is set within extensive and thoughtfully landscaped grounds, which back onto open farm land.
The front garden is paved with beautiful Purbeck stone, raised walls and seating create an inviting space, and established planted and potted shrubs provide a sense of charm.
Adjacent to the cottage is a substantial double garage with a loft room, which is ideal as a home office or further storage.
This then leads effortlessly into the stunning rear garden, which is laid to lawn which includes a variety of mature trees, and established shrubs, along with a productive kitchen garden.
A potting shed and greenhouse cater perfectly for those with a keen interested in gardening. The garden also boasts a Purbeck stone patio, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
