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 accommodation includes five generous bedrooms, two en-suite shower rooms and an additional family shower room, alongside a versatile study.
The ground floor offers a well-appointed kitchen with traditional-style cabinetry, solid oak worksurfaces and a large Rangemaster cooker, together with a spacious dual-aspect dining and living area featuring engineered wood flooring and a built-in log burner.
A useful utility room, downstairs shower room, characterful snug and impressive garden room provide further flexibility and excellent spaces for everyday living and entertaining.
Outside, the property continues to impress.

A greenhouse and gated vegetable garden benefit from natural well-water irrigation, while a restored well supplies water for the gardens.
Part of the original Island railway embankment forms an intriguing feature within the grounds, with commanding countryside views.
A large gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking opportunities across Stenbury Downs and towards the Worsley Obelisk and neighbouring villages.

What the Owner says: Since moving here in 2014 we have enjoyed creating a beautiful garden from a blank canvas on our 2 acre site We planted over 80 native trees, created an English native hedgerow and dug a wildlife pond.
Over the years we have been rewarded by wildlife moving into the garden to entertain us. A family of Moorhens have bred on the pond for the last 5 years and Swallows return to the barn to breed.
By feeding the Red Squirrels when we first moved in, they have been a constant source of entertainment.
Quiet Summer evenings are spent outside watching and listening to the wildlife whilst viewing the ever-changing views and sunsets.
Winter evenings are spent in the cosy “snug” in front of the log burner watching the ever changing views and sunsets over the Downs.
