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
Herons Leap is one of three attractive properties in this small hamlet which has a range of similar character properties, standing only about 1.5 miles from Ottery St Mary and less than a mile from the pretty village of Tipton St John, which has a good primary school, Church, pub, village hall, stores and bus service.
The surrounding countryside offers excellent walking/horse-riding facilities.
The property itself enjoys well-presented light and airy accommodation perfectly combining the character of a period home with modern and stylish fixtures and fittings.
The covered porch leads to the spacious hallway with cloakroom W.C. and attractive oak flooring.
The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of cream-fronted cupboards and drawers at both base and eye level whilst incorporating two ovens, a gas hob and room for further modern appliances.
The solid oak worktops provide plenty of room for food preparation, pleasing any keen cook.
French doors lead into the rear garden and there is space for breakfast table and chairs for informal and sociable dining.
The sitting room is another lovely room with a feature fireplace with an inset woodburning stove and further French doors to the rear garden.
The dining/family room is capacious and is a multi-use room and there is a utility room for further storage and appliance space that occupies part of the garage/store and therefore could be removed should a full-size garage be preferred.
On the first floor are three large double bedrooms and an office/nursery.
The principal bedroom benefits from a full bathroom ensuite, enjoying both a bath and a separate shower cubicle and the family shower room is also fitted with a modern and stylish white suite.
This wonderful home is suitable for both families and retired occupants alike and has double-glazed windows and doors, along with a modern gas central heating system, creating an efficient home to run.
To the front is a substantial gravelled driveway providing plenty of room for several vehicles and a double door leads to the garage/store which would accommodate a motorcycle or very small car.
The rear garden is another appealing feature being beautifully landscaped, bursting with a range of colours created by the deep well established flowerbeds and a vegetable patch/ kitchen garden that would please any keen gardener.
There is an expanse of lawn allowing plenty of room for children to run and play and the paved patio area enables family and friends to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.
The mature shrubs and trees provide natural boundaries that create a lovely feeling of privacy and seclusion. The coast at Sidmouth is about 4 miles.
Exeter and the M5 are about 13 miles, and Honiton with mainline station Waterloo/Exeter is about 8 miles.
Ottery is a popular town with a good range of amenities, a Supermarket, excellent primary and secondary schools, a medical centre, recreational activities, a sports centre and bus services.
In all a lovely home that must be viewed to fully appreciate this charming property and its superb, secluded rural, but not isolated position. DIRECTIONS What3words///nodded.fatherly.prowling.
