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
Offered with no onward chain, a 3 bed detached property boasting delightful rural views. Believed to date back to the 1800s, the property now requires renovation.
Property - Set within a delightful semi-rural setting and surrounded by open countryside, this charming detached period property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special home.
The house is in need of updating and refurbishment, yet provides an excellent canvas for a buyer looking to add their own style and vision while enhancing its original character.
Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a central entrance with doors leading to both the kitchen and the sitting room.
The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, featuring a triple aspect that fills the room with natural light, along with a characterful fireplace as a focal point.
The kitchen also enjoys a double aspect and includes a fireplace, an airing cupboard, and a door leading through to a pantry.
From the kitchen, a further door opens into an inner hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and access is provided to a second reception room, which benefits from a side-aspect window and offers flexible additional living space.
On the first floor, the accommodation comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which enjoy wonderful views across the surrounding open countryside.
Completing the layout is a three-piece family bathroom. Outside, the property sits within a tranquil and well-established plot (measuring approximately 0.2 acres) that greatly enhances its appeal.
The gardens feature a combination of pathways, lawned areas, well-stocked beds and borders, and mature trees, creating a peaceful and private setting.
The property also benefits from two brick build outbuildings and off-road parking.
