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
An impressive and beautifully presented country house extending in all to approximately 5,700 sq ft including an indoor swimming pool building, set within just over five acres and positioned on a highly sought-after road on the outskirts of Goostrey village, enjoying open views across surrounding farmland.
The house offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by recent renovations.
An entrance hall provides access to the reception rooms, including a living room with open fireplace, a glazed dining room overlooking fields to the rear, a conservatory, and a separate study currently used as a fifth bedroom.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space includes an AGA, integrated Miele and Bosch appliances, a snug area, and a separate utility room.
A side entrance leads into a boot room, and the former double garage has been converted into a home gym.
To the first floor are four large double bedrooms, including two principal bedroom suites with dressing areas and en suite bathrooms, together with a third family bathroom.
A heated indoor swimming pool is housed within a separate pool house building, positioned beyond a charming enclosed walled garden between the house and pool.
This substantial building offers excellent potential for alternative uses including guest accommodation or a large entertaining space.
The gardens lie mainly to the front and side of the house, with the additional paddock land extending the total acreage to just over five acres.
A large, flat paddock is situated opposite the house across the quiet lane, which also leads to a well-known local private lake, popular with walkers.
The property has recently benefited from new boilers, smart home lighting, a Hive-controlled heating system, hardwired internet cabling, and a security system with CCTV, alarm and monitoring capabilities.
