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
Nestled on the outskirts of a peaceful village, this charming three-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful blend of traditional character, individual styling and versatile accommodation.
With exposed timber beams, rustic wooden doors, a cosy log-burning stove and a beautifully appointed bathroom, the property has a warm and welcoming feel throughout.
Outside, a private rear garden, useful outbuildings and generous off-road parking for numerous vehicles add to its appeal.
The cottage enjoys a lovely village setting, with a welcoming local pub serving delicious food just a stone's throw away and a popular primary school within easy walking distance.
The nearby A66 provides excellent transport links towards Cockermouth and the Lake District, whilst Workington is also just a short drive away.
Step inside and you are welcomed into a delightful dining and sitting room, where exposed timber beams, attractive slate tile flooring and a traditional wooden staircase immediately introduce the character found throughout the home.
This versatile space offers plenty of room for dining and relaxing, making it ideal for everyday family life or entertaining.
From here, you enter the cosy lounge, a particularly inviting room centred around a log-burning stove, set within a rustic fireplace with exposed brickwork and a substantial timber mantel.
Patio doors open directly onto the rear courtyard, allowing natural light to fill the room and creating a lovely connection with the garden.
The kitchen continues the cottage-style theme, featuring traditional timber cabinetry, exposed ceiling beams, a Belfast-style sink and a range-style cooker.
Combining rustic charm with practicality, it provides an attractive and welcoming space for everyday cooking.
Just off the kitchen, a rear hallway leads to a ground-floor double bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for guests, family members or anyone looking for a bedroom on the ground floor.
Alternatively, this space could make a lovely home office or hobby room. Heading upstairs, you will find two further double bedrooms, each with its own individual appeal.
The principal bedroom is a real standout, featuring a beautiful exposed stone wall complemented by deep blue panelling and subtle lighting that gently illuminates the stonework.
Industrial-style lights above the bed add another distinctive touch, creating a wonderfully atmospheric, boutique-inspired retreat.
The second bedroom is another comfortable double, presented in light, neutral tones with traditional timber doors and useful built-in wardrobe storage.
Completing the first floor is a fabulous bathroom, combining traditional elegance with contemporary styling.
A freestanding roll-top bath takes centre stage, complemented by a separate shower enclosure, washbasin and WC.
Striking dark blue walls, white metro-style tiling, patterned flooring and industrial-style lighting create a stylish space with plenty of personality.
Outside, the cottage enjoys a lovely private rear garden, with a courtyard seating area, raised garden space, established planting and slate chippings.
The garden offers a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the warmer months.
A substantial detached outbuilding, currently used as a workshop, provides excellent space for diy, crafts or hobbies, whilst two smaller outbuildings offer useful additional storage.
A particularly appealing feature is the generous off-road parking for numerous vehicles, provided by additional land to the front of the property, extending along the lane in front of the neighbouring garages.
This is a valuable benefit for a village cottage, offering plenty of space for households with multiple vehicles.
The neighbouring garages are not included in the sale, and buyers should refer to the title documentation regarding boundaries and any associated rights.
