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
Set along one of Emery Down’s gentle village approaches, this home offers the kind of storybook charm that draws people to the New Forest in the first place.
This mid terrace home has an honest simplicity about it, a place where mornings drift in through soft greenery and the sound of birdsong carries across the neighbouring fields.
While the cottage would welcome a thoughtful update, its character shines through every corner. Stepping through the porch, the kitchen dining space forms the heart of the home.
It is a practical and welcoming area with a selection of classic cupboards, a peninsula breakfast bar for relaxed meals and a four ring hob with oven beneath.
Tucked neatly under the stairs is the stainless steel sink and a useful spot for a washing machine, along with a serving hatch that peers into the living room.
A slim storage cupboard houses the electric meter and consumer unit and a tall cupboard conceals the Worcester boiler.
A small inner vestibule leads to the staircase and through to the living room where the cottage’s warmth truly comes alive.
The exposed brick chimney breast provides a rustic focal point and the space includes a deep double cupboard for coats and everyday essentials.
A picture window frames the rear garden and the green beyond and a glazed door opens to the steps that lead down outside.
Discreetly placed in the corner is the downstairs cloakroom with its own little window overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, the landing offers several storage options including an airing cupboard and shelving above the staircase. Both bedrooms are generous doubles.
The rear bedroom enjoys an outlook across the garden and adjoining field, while the front bedroom looks over the cottage garden and the sheltered approach.
The bathroom is simple and functional with a bath, shower attachment and full tiling.
A pull down ladder leads to the converted loft which provides a flexible ancillary space with deep eaves cupboards, a skylight and a rear facing window.
The front garden has a gentle charm with mature planting set around a crazy paved pathway and a picket fence at the boundary. Hedging keeps the space private and gives the cottage a tucked away feel.
The rear garden is designed for low maintenance and opens to a view of the adjoining field which shifts beautifully with the seasons.
Offered with no onward chain, this property presents an inviting opportunity for anyone wanting to restore and personalise an authentic New Forest home in a prized village where ponies wander freely and footpaths begin only moments from the door.
It is a peaceful little retreat with all the ingredients to become something quite special.
Living in Emery Down Emery Down offers a wonderfully peaceful way of life at the heart of the New Forest National Park.
Ponies wander freely, woodland paths begin almost from the doorstep and the landscape encourages walking, cycling and slow, unhurried days surrounded by nature.
Despite its rural feel, the village is well placed for everyday convenience. Lyndhurst is only moments away with independent shops, cafés, pubs and essential services.
The A35 and A337 give easy access across the forest and towards the coast, while Southampton and Bournemouth provide broader shopping, leisure and mainline rail connections.
Both airports are also within comfortable reach. Life here is about balance. You enjoy the calm of a small forest village yet remain close to the places you need.
For many, that blend of beauty and practicality is what makes Emery Down such a treasured place to call home.
