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.

From the public highway the property is approached through electric gates that lead to a wide paved courtyard and substantial range of outbuildings including a triple garage block with super-fast EV charger, loft room over, workshop and attached stabling which is plumbed and currently used for storage and an outside toilet.
The gardens and grounds offer a high degree of privacy, largely informal with paved terracing, lawns, apple orchard, small paddock and area of "wild flower" garden.
