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
Babbington Farm House is a beautifully presented detached farmhouse set in a stunning rural location on the outskirts of the charming village of Chilsworthy, offering three generous double bedrooms and no onward chain.
Approached via a gated driveway with ample parking, this delightful home combines traditional character with modern comforts.
The ground floor boasts a spacious, light-filled dual-aspect living room centred around a cosy wood-burning stove, flowing effortlessly into an adjoining snug.
A large conservatory provides a versatile space to relax and enjoy views over the lawn gardens.
The well-appointed kitchen is a true heart of the home, featuring a central island with breakfast bar, extensive base and wall-mounted storage, and a full range of integral appliances including induction hob, double oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and a Hanstrom boiling water tap.
The adjacent dining room opens through French doors onto a low-maintenance patio, ideal for alfresco entertaining.
Completing the ground floor are a utility room with ample storage and a stylish shower room with corner shower, hand basin, WC, and built-in vanity units.
Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing leads to three double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a modern ensuite shower, hand basin with vanity storage, and WC.
A further family shower room with double shower tray and additional storage serves the remaining bedrooms.
Externally, the property enjoys generous lawns with planted raised borders, a low-maintenance rear patio, and a detached tandem garage with electric door.
Pedestrian access is available to both sides, and PV solar panels with inverter and battery storage contribute to the property’s sustainability.
