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
"The strength of this house is how much outside space it has in relation to the accommodation.
The garden gives genuine depth and privacy, and both the kitchen and main sitting room are positioned to make the most of that connection.
Internally, the layout is practical and adaptable, with a second reception room that adds useful flexibility depending on how the next owner lives day to day." Gavin Amberton - Chantries & Pewleys Canfold Cottages sits along Bookhurst Road, Cranleigh, with a setting that gives straightforward access into the village while remaining well placed for surrounding countryside walks.
The frontage immediately sets the tone, with mature planting softening a generous gravel driveway that provides extensive private parking.
The sitting room is a strong main reception space, centred around a wood burning stove and arranged to comfortably accommodate day-to-day seating as well as larger gatherings.
Full-width glazed doors open directly onto the rear terrace, which changes how the room works in warmer months and creates a natural connection with the garden beyond.
The kitchen / dining room is clearly designed as a practical working space, with a broad range of cream fitted cabinetry, timber worktops and generous preparation space.
The layout allows room for everyday dining without compromising functionality, while the rear outlook keeps the garden firmly part of the experience of the room.
A separate front reception room adds valuable flexibility. It works equally well as a formal dining room, family room, study or dedicated work-from-home space, depending on requirements.
A ground floor cloakroom sits off the hall. The first floor provides three genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a comfortable footprint as the main bedroom.
The second bedroom is another generous double, also with fitted storage.
Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden, making it a particularly pleasant guest room, child’s bedroom or study if all three bedrooms are not needed for sleeping accommodation.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, with natural light and a straightforward layout. The rear garden is a superb feature and one of the defining strengths of the house.
It gives the property a sense of depth and separation that is unusual at this price point, while also changing how the accommodation works day to day.
For a young family, there is genuine room for children to play.
For buyers who enjoy entertaining, the terrace and direct connection from the sitting room make the garden feel like a natural extension of the house through the warmer months.
The scale of the plot also gives flexibility over time, whether that simply means making more of the garden itself or considering future changes, subject to the usual permissions.
