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.

Sean Austin, Director of Austin Estate Agents, comments, 'Autumn Cottage is a wonderful example of a Dorset country chalet, set in idyllic gardens within a highly desirable location.
We strongly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate its charm and versatility.' Osmington is a charming Dorset village on the outskirts of Preston with a strong sense of community through its ancient thirteenth century church and vibrant village hall, which offers a full calendar of activities throughout the year.
The dramatic Jurassic Coastline and South West Coast Path provide a wonderful setting for beautiful coastal walks and a plethora of countryside walks surround the village.
The seaside town of Weymouth is four miles away which offers many local shops, restaurants, bars and theatre as well as main railway links to London.
