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.

The property offers a wonderful opportunity to modernise and personalise, whilst retaining much character and charm.
The cottage features a rendered front elevation, complemented by an attractive exposed flint and brick rear elevation.
Modern double-glazed windows have been installed, and a new oil-fired combination boiler was fitted in 2024, serving radiators on both ground and first floors.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, two well-proportioned reception rooms, each benefiting from a fireplace, and a kitchen. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside, the front garden is borded on two sides by a combination of walling and hedging, while the rear garden provides a particularly good opportunity for the new owner to create their own outdoor space, being principally laid to lawn and offering a blank canvas for landscaping.
There are also two small brick and flint outbuildings, each beneath a tiled roof. The property benefits from a pedestrian right of way over the rear garden of the neighbouring cottage.
