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.

Description - Wingfield House offers a rare chance to own one of Suffolk’s historic listed homes — a fifteenth-century oak-framed town house, painstakingly restored to award-winning standards.
Believed to be Saxmundham’s oldest surviving dwelling, this remarkable Grade II listed property was saved from collapse and is now a shining example of sensitive conservation, blending authentic period detail with warmth, character and generous proportions.
Throughout the house there are a wealth of original timbers on show along with original fireplaces and good ceiling heights.
The property also now benefits from mains fired gas central heating with refurbished Victorian radiators on the ground floor and heated towel rails in bathrooms along with tv aerial sockets in each bedroom.
Reception Hall with exposed original beams, original brick floor, two cupboards and corkscrew staircase to 1st floor Bedroom / Office / TV Snug. Door to Cloakroom with hand sink and heated towel rail.
Sitting Room contains large fireplace double sided through to the Entrance Hall with Clearview woodburner, original wide width reclaimed floorboards, window to rear garden and access through to open plan Kitchen / Dining Room which is full of light and has double height space with double doors opening into garden.
The Kitchen is furnished with contemporary units, integrated appliences and walk in pantry.
Access through a glazed hatch in the floor to the Cellar which is racked for 200 bottles and also contains the hot water system.
Stairs lead up to the First Floor and three Bedrooms – two with original fireplaces – and the Family Bathroom with roll top free standing bath and separate shower cubicle.
A double cupboard on the landing provides good storage and a separate cupboard contains the boiler and washing machine.
A second flight of stairs then leads up to the Second Floor with two further En-Suite Bedrooms and additional cupboard space.
