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 property has been independently valued at £690,000 by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) qualified surveyor.
Unique character-filled Grade I listed mid-terrace home offering exceptional space within historic Whim Squar A genuinely distinctive period home, this impressive four-bedroom mid-terrace property forms part of the historic Whim Square at Lamancha, close to West Linton.
Set within a remarkable courtyard-style development surrounded by mature countryside, the property combines substantial proportions, tremendous character and an unusually versatile layout.
Its stone-built exterior and setting immediately establish a strong sense of heritage, while the interiors provide extensive living space suited to family life, entertaining and working from home.
The ground floor unfolds across an impressive footprint.
A substantial kitchen forms the practical heart of the home, fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and generous preparation space, while the adjoining areas retain the exposed stonework and period character that feature throughout the property.
A separate coach house provides a particularly interesting additional reception space, complemented by a WC.
Elsewhere, a large utility/gym demonstrates the flexibility of the layout and could suit a variety of lifestyle requirements.
Bedroom three is also positioned on this level and benefits from its own storage.
The first floor is equally impressive, with two notably generous living rooms providing considerable space for both everyday relaxation and entertaining.
Exposed stone walls, traditional detailing and the scale of the rooms reinforce the property's individual character.
The principal bedroom is exceptionally spacious and benefits from an en-suite, while two further bedrooms are positioned across this floor, including a substantial fourth bedroom beyond one of the living areas.
The main family bathroom is a particularly attractive feature, combining traditional styling with generous proportions and incorporating both a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower.
Together with the en-suite and ground-floor WC, the arrangement works particularly well for a property of this scale. Outside, Whim Square is arguably every bit as memorable as the house itself.
The handsome stone elevations enclose extensive shared lawned grounds, creating an impressive sense of arrival and a setting quite unlike a conventional terrace.
The property also enjoys private garden space, while the surrounding mature woodland and open countryside reinforce its secluded rural atmosphere.
Despite its scale and unusual configuration, it is important to note that this remains a mid-terrace home, positioned within the historic row of properties forming Whim Square.
Lamancha provides an appealing rural setting within the Scottish Borders, surrounded by countryside well suited to walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits.
Nearby West Linton provides everyday amenities including local shops, a health centre, pharmacy and post office, together with leisure and community facilities.
West Linton Primary School serves the village and surrounding rural catchment, while secondary education is available in the wider area, including Peebles High School.
For commuters, the area combines countryside living with useful road connections.
The A701 and A702 provide routes towards Penicuik, Peebles and Edinburgh, with onward access to the Edinburgh City Bypass and wider central Scotland road network.
West Linton is also served by local bus connections, including services towards Peebles.
The surrounding landscape, nearby woodland and the wider Pentland Hills countryside provide an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Whim Square offers something genuinely different: The character and presence of a historic country property, extensive and flexible living space and an exceptional communal setting, all within a substantial mid-terrace home.
With four bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, a large kitchen, utility/gym, coach house, private and communal gardens and a wealth of period character, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a home well beyond the ordinary.
