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
Classic detached three bedroom Georgian style house adjoining countryside just a walk to the beach.
The Property Number One Woodroffe Villas is one of three Georgian-style properties that were built circa 2009 with the symmetry and looks of a house of that period.
However, of course, the advantage of this Georgian house is that it is fit for the 21st century with all the insulation, maintenance and cost saving advantages of a contemporary property.
Add an attractive rural outlook over the adjoining countryside and a walk both into the town and to the beach and you have a very attractive proposition indeed.
Accommodation On the ground floor, there are two principal living areas with the sitting room stretching from the front to the rear of the property with double doors out onto the garden behind and the focal point of a fireplace.
The kitchen/dining room can be divided into two areas - the dining area to one end and a kitchen to the other that is equipped with a generous array of floor and wall mounted units with integral appliances that include an electric double oven, a gas hob, a fridge/freezer, a second freezer and a dishwasher.
Beyond the kitchen there is a useful utility room while off the hallway there is a cloakroom.
Upstairs there are three good double bedrooms, the principal of which has space for two large double wardrobes. The en-suite shower room has a WC, shower, wash-basin and bidet.
The two remaining bedrooms, each of which has a built-in double wardrobe, have space for additional wardrobes if required, and share the family bathroom.
The property is fully double glazed and has gas fired central heating.
Outside To the rear of the property there is a lovely timber fenced courtyard garden that is organised for ease of maintenance and is for the most part paved.
The garden is south facing and takes in the sun for much of the day (perfect for entertaining) and has a useful timber garden shed to one corner.
Behind the garden there is parking for two cars, whilst the private road in front has extra parking space if required.
Situation Lyme Regis is on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline and is a most popular and picturesque coastal town noted for its attractive period buildings, the famous centuries-old Cobb and harbour.
In the town is an excellent selection of facilities including many independent shops and a number of restaurants and hotels, together with a theatre and various museums.
Moments from the high street is the charming award-winning sandy beach which is ideal for families.
The harbour is popular with anglers and those keen on deep sea fishing trips, and the sailing and power boat clubs are also nearby.
The local Woodroffe School is a highly regarded academy school - Dorset's top rated - and there are excellent primary schools both in the town and surrounding villages.
