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
Situated in this charming, tiny hamlet in Dartington, within a short walk of the village shop, the Cider Press centre, complete with artisan bakery, is this unique 2 bed cottage sitting in a third of an acre.
Surrounded by an abundance of wildlife with gardens running down to 20m of frontage onto Bidwell Brook, complete with ducks, trout, and even the occasional otter!
This truly is an idyllic, quiet setting, and only 10 minutes cycle, along the picturesque cycle path, to Totnes train station.
The cottage had a carefully considered, complete renovation 5 years ago, using eco friendly building products. It has underfloor heating throughout.
