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
Herringbone Cottage offers beautifully presented accommodation brimming with warmth, character and the unmistakable charm of a period home.
Inside, the cottage is rich in original features, with exposed timber beams, open fireplaces and timber windows all combining to create an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and timeless.
The sitting room is a wonderfully cosy retreat, centred around an attractive log burner while the dining room, complete with a further log burning stove, is full of rustic charm and perfect for relaxed evenings or entertaining.
The garden room is a particularly uplifting space, enjoying delightful views over the garden with double glazed doors opening directly outside, allowing the cottage and gardens to flow together beautifully.
The kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and inviting, fitted with a range of base and eye level cupboard and drawer units topped with timber work surfaces that complement the cottage’s character perfectly.
Integrated Siemens appliances include a refrigerator, eye level twin electric ovens and an induction hob.
A bathroom and separate shower room add flexibility, while to the first floor there are three bedrooms, each continuing the cottage’s appealing sense of comfort and individuality.
Approached via a charming single track lane, Herringbone Cottage immediately feels tucked away and special.
To the front is off-street parking and a converted detached garage extending to 19’, complete with power, light, plumbing for a washing machine and stairs rising to a boarded loft, offering excellent storage or further potential.
Adjoining this is a useful boot room/utility, accessed via a separate doorway and benefiting from heating and storage.
Altogether, this is a cottage of immense charm, offering a rare blend of practicality, history and heartfelt appeal.
Outside Externally, Herringbone Cottage is every bit as enchanting as the home itself, enjoying an idyllic setting with outstanding gardens and grounds of around half an acre, all overlooking open countryside.
Beautifully tended and wonderfully private, the gardens create a superb lifestyle setting, whether for peaceful everyday living, entertaining friends and family, or simply enjoying the beauty of the seasons.
The formal garden is laid predominantly to lawn and framed by well-stocked flower beds and mature ornamental trees, giving colour, structure and interest throughout the year.
There is plenty of space here to dine outdoors, host summer gatherings, or simply relax and take in the surroundings.
A productive vegetable plot, timber storage shed and timber framed ‘Woodpecker’ greenhouse add to the appeal for those seeking a more self-sufficient country lifestyle.
Of particular note is the beautiful wild flower garden, enclosed by post and rail fencing, creating a softer, more natural space that feels wonderfully peaceful and full of charm.
Beyond this, the paddock offers exciting further potential and is perfect for those with animals, those dreaming of a smallholding lifestyle, or simply anyone wanting extra outdoor space for recreation and enjoyment.
Together, the gardens and paddock make Herringbone Cottage far more than just a pretty period home; they create a truly special way of life, with space to relax, entertain, garden and embrace the very best of the countryside.
