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
Description This exceptional detached property, originally a traditional barn believed to date back to the 1970s, has been thoughtfully converted and extended on two occasions, resulting in over 2,300 sqft of deceptively spacious accommodation.
The current owners have tastefully modernised the home, blending original character with contemporary design.
The double aspect sitting room features a wood burner and ample natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The L-shaped kitchen/dining room is equipped with a stylish System Six fitted kitchen, including a Quooker tap, two Neff ovens, induction hob, integrated fridge freezer, and Neff dishwasher.
Both rooms open onto a stunning paved Mediterranean-style internal courtyard, offering privacy and an ideal space for al fresco dining.
The entrance hall, with oak flooring, leads to a triple aspect bedroom and a fourth bedroom with an en suite shower room.

The gardens, extending around 0.7 acres, feature gently sloping lawns interspersed with flower and shrub borders. A kitchen garden is protected from deer by a cage, ensuring a fruitful harvest.
