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
*£800,000 - £850,000* Situated within generous grounds and surrounded by open countryside on the outskirts of the desirable village of Hundon, The Old Forge is a charming and substantial five-bedroom detached family home offering versatile accommodation and beautiful rural views.
The ground floor is accessed via an entrance porch leading into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, complete with a striking staircase rising to the first floor.
To the right-hand side of the property is an impressive triple-aspect sitting/family room, flooded with natural light and centred around a stunning inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove.
A door provides direct access to the rear gardens, creating a wonderful connection between the home and its outdoor spaces.
To the opposite side of the property is a well-proportioned and recently modernised kitchen/breakfast room which opens into a garden room, providing an ideal space for everyday family living.
The kitchen is fitted with a central island and breakfast bar, creating a natural divide to a dining area, all enjoying pleasant views over the gardens.
A separate utility room is located just off the kitchen. Further ground floor accommodation includes a home office and a games room, perfect for family living and entertaining.
Also on the ground floor is a bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
This section of the house offers excellent potential for use as a self-contained annexe, ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation.
To the first floor, the dual-aspect principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and enjoys delightful countryside views.
There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, all of which also take advantage of the surrounding rural outlook.
Externally, The Old Forge is approached via a set of gates leading onto a generous gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking.
The gardens are beautifully maintained and predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and hedging which provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
To one side of the property is a west-facing paved terrace, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, alongside a heated swimming pool.
In addition, the original forge outbuilding provides useful storage and offers potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
The property sits within grounds extending to approximately 0.4 acres.
The Old Forge lies approximately 1.1 miles from the village of Hundon, a well-served Suffolk village offering a blend of period and modern homes.
Local amenities include a village shop and post office, village hall, primary school, and two popular public houses, The Rose & Crown and The Hundon Plough.
