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
SUMMARY Lundie is a stunning example of a thoughtfully recently extended family home, tucked away in a peaceful countryside setting.
This impressive property combines contemporary design with traditional charm.
With four double bedrooms, two ensuites, and an exceptional open-plan kitchen / dining / living space that enjoys uninterrupted countryside views, Lundie offers flexible living at its very best.
Sitting within grounds approaching three-quarters of an acre (STLS), the grounds also boasts a collection of versatile outbuildings, large garden ideal for both relaxation and entertaining and potential to house a pony, with exceptional bridle and farm ways on your doorstep.
THE HEART OF THE HOME At the centre of the property lies the showstopping open-plan kitchen / dining / family room, bathed in natural light from the sky lantern above and sliding doors that open seamlessly onto the sun terrace and garden.
The sleek, well-appointed kitchen is both stylish and practical, with plentiful storage, a useful larder cupboard, and an oak-topped island that doubles as a breakfast bar.
An LPG AGA with electric hob stands proud as the heart of the kitchen and includes an electric Bosch oven and space for a wine chiller neatly housed within the island, and an integrated Bosch dishwasher, which add both modern convenience and timeless countryside charm.
There's space for a large dining table, making this an ideal spot for lively gatherings or leisurely family meals, while the adjoining sitting area enjoys uninterrupted views of the garden and fields beyond.
On warmer days, throw open the sliding doors and extend your living space out to the terrace - perfect for summer entertaining.

A separate laundry room provides further storage and workspace, with space plumbing for both a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer, and also houses the boiler cupboard.
