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
Take a few moments to admire this exquisite double fronted stone cottage.
It's brimming with fabulous memories, from toboggan runs and 'slip n slides', to romantic meals as the sun sets - this is a one of a kind that we've fallen in love with at Reeds Rains.
Rockside occupies a unique location near the meeting point of Cheshire and Staffordshire.
It stands within extensive grounds that extend to a little over one acre or thereabouts, and boasts captivating views of Troughstones, across Congleton toward Manchester.
The gardens are majestic with a composite deck and numerous strategically placed patios providing breath-taking vantage points - bird song is typically the only distraction.
This is not your traditional stone cottage.
It is refreshingly spacious, with really good ceiling heights, successfully blending a beautiful combination of traditional characteristics with modern styling.
The salubrious rooms are light and bright - literally all of the principle spaces benefit from either dual or multi aspect windows.
The accommodation features three reception areas including an open plan kitchen diner, and master suite. You just don't find that in many 'typical' stone buildings.
The matching stone detached, double garage provides independent access to a first floor room with adjoining shower and connections for a kitchenette.
This could easily be utilised as an annexe or even an 'Airbnb'. The grid exporting solar panels should provide a strong investment.
They do not power the home's electric load but instead export back to the grid for credit (we understand that this is transferable to any new buyer but please make the necessary checks).
It is located amongst the Staffordshire countryside, close to the Cheshire border, near to 'Biddulph Grange Gardens' and it's country park.
Biddulph has become known as the 'Garden Town of Staffordshire' and is awash with colour from Spring right through to Autumn, regularly competing in the 'RHS Heart of England in Bloom' competition.
Amenities are strong, with a town centre which has seen considerable investment and is now home to two large supermarkets and chain shops.
The beautiful market town of Congleton and its nearby railway station is also readily accessible, as are Leek and the Potteries.
Available to purchase with no onward chain and perfectly suited to those hopefully seeking a smooth and swift purchase. Closer inspections are highly recommended.
