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.

The Inner Hallway provides access into three well proportioned Bedrooms, two of which benefit from integrated storage cupboard and En-Suite Shower Rooms, with the third being served by a centrally positioned Family bathroom comprising a fitted suite.
Serving as the heart of the home is a substantial Living/Dining Room, which provides ample open-plan space for seating and dining, alongside patio doors which open to the south into a spacious Conservatory offering superb views across the gardens and onto the open scenery beyond.
Completing the living accommodation is a particularly versatile room which has previously served as a separate Dining Room but which could readily serve a a variety of onward usages, be that as a home office, family room, hobby room, or similar.
Outside - The property is approached via a five-bar gate which opens onto a long gravelled driveway flanked to one side by lawn and established hedging, this culminating at parking space situated to the fore of the property and before a detached single garage with up and over vehicular door.
The rear of the property enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and provides particularly fine views across open farmland whilst, at present, featuring a paved patio area lying immediately beyond patio doors which exit from the Conservatory, thus allowing for a seamless transition between the internal and external elements of the home.
The patio leads on to an expanse of lawn retained within well-stocked floral beds.
