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
The Old Post Office is an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom family home in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds village of Scamblesby.
Having undergone a scheme of renovations and updates by the current vendors, prospective purchasers now have the chance to complete works to suit their requirements, not least with planning permission granted for a two-storey extension to the rear and double garage (see East Lindsey District Planning, REF: N/149/01672/20).
The property benefits from a new Air Source Heating system, already installed, as part of the ongoing updates and enhancements; a dozen solar panels, and is fully insulated with underfloor heating system installed throughout the ground floor - with the exception of the former shop area for which the materials are already purchased and at the property.
The Old Post Office is predominately double glazed, with the single glazed windows in the kitchen set to be replaced during the extension works. The original shop front is also single glazed.
As such, the property boasts an EPC: C rating.
Currently, accommodation comprises an entrance/boot room, kitchen with a hybrid utility/pantry space, and two reception rooms to the ground floor; with four comfortable double bedrooms and two bathroom spaces to the first.
The property is complete with off-road parking for multiple vehicles, and a generous rear garden space to be established.
Scamblesby lies within the designated National Landscape area of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with the well-serviced market towns of Louth and Horncastle in close proximity.
The village is home to a Primary School; while the aforementioned towns provide a full range of education options and further services and amenities.
