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
A rare opportunity to purchase a fully-renovated five bedroom house together with a large cotswold stone barn with planning permission to convert, set within nearly 4 acres.
ABOUT THIS HOUSE Down House is a handsome Grade II listed village home built of Cotswold stone under a traditional roof, occupying a prominent central position with views over its own paddock and an additional 3.5 acres of gardens and grounds.
The house was sensitively renovated 5 years ago by HAM Interiors.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering balanced family living with two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with Everhot, and five bedrooms.
Gardens include a terrace, walled garden, orchard and productive vegetable plot. The Barn and outbuildings are set within the gardens.
Planning permission is in place to convert into a separate 5000 square foot dwelling, together forming an exceptional lifestyle and development opportunity.
