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
Plumb Cottage is a charming detached character home, positioned in the heart of East Preston village and offered to the market for the first time in 30 years.
With its attractive frontage, period charm and fantastic location, this is a home that immediately feels special.
Set along Sea Road, one of East Preston’s most convenient village positions, the property is perfectly placed for those wanting to enjoy the ease of village life, with local shops, cafés, restaurants and the beach all within easy reach.
The ground floor offers two separate reception rooms, giving excellent flexibility depending on how you wish to live.
One could be used as a formal dining room, second sitting room or snug, while the main living space provides a comfortable room to relax and unwind.
To the rear of the home, the kitchen enjoys a direct outlook and access onto the west-facing garden. With the garden offering a lovely setting to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both well proportioned, together with a separate dressing room which connects through to the bathroom.
The bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower, making the first-floor layout practical as well as characterful. Outside, the garden is a superb size for such a central village location.
West-facing and enclosed with attractive flint walls, it feels private, full of charm and offers a wonderful blank canvas for the next owner to enjoy.
There is also clear potential for a buyer to further enhance or extend the property to the rear, subject of course to the necessary consents.
Believed to date back to the early 1900s, Plumb Cottage is ideal for a buyer looking for a home with charm, kerb appeal and a strong sense of character.
It offers the opportunity to take on a much-loved older home and make it your own, while enjoying one of East Preston’s most convenient lifestyle locations.
The property further benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and is offered to the market chain free.
