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
No Onward chain....Set in an enviable non-estate position on the rural edge of Althorne, this attractive detached character cottage enjoys open countryside views and offers spacious, versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The property provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and three generous reception rooms, combining period charm, including exposed beams and red-brick fireplaces, with the flexibility required for modern family living.
A particularly valuable feature is the existing planning permission for a detached one-bedroom bungalow, offering excellent potential for independent accommodation or multi-generational living, subject to the relevant planning conditions.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into the hallway, with stairs to the first floor, built-in storage and access to a flexible ground-floor bedroom or reception room.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample storage and worktop space and leads to a separate utility room and ground-floor shower room.
Further accommodation includes a separate dining room, a sizeable living room with wide glazed doors overlooking the garden and farmland beyond, and a substantial office/snug with its own hallway and external side entrance, ideal for home working or guest use.
Upstairs, the landing serves three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and decorative tiling.
Outside, the private rear garden backs directly onto open farmland and provides space for seating, dining and recreation.
To the side, an extensive gravel driveway offers off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a detached timber garage/outbuilding.
This individual village home offers generous space, countryside views and exciting future potential. Viewing is highly recommended.
