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
Guide Price £1,100,000 - £1,150,000 Elmdale is a truly distinctive country residence, set within approximately eight acres of beautifully maintained grounds which include tractor shed, stables with solar panels fitted, and summer house in the sought-after village of Little Wigborough.
This Grade II listed home, dating back to the 18th century, effortlessly combines historic charm with carefully considered modern comforts, creating a property of both character and practicality.
From the moment you enter, the home reveals a wealth of original period features, including exposed timber beams and traditional fireplaces, all contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The generous lounge serves as a focal point of the house, centred around an impressive fireplace that provides a cosy yet elegant setting for everyday living and entertaining.
A separate dining room offers a more formal space, ideal for hosting guests, while a dedicated study area provides a flexible area suited to home working or quiet relaxation.
The kitchen forms the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed to balance rustic charm with everyday functionality.
Featuring classic-style cabinetry and a spacious walk-in pantry, it provides ample storage and preparation space.
Stable doors open directly onto the grounds, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, while allowing natural light and fresh air to enhance the space.
Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying attractive views over the surrounding gardens and countryside.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat.
A further bedroom also includes fitted storage, while the remaining rooms offer versatility for family living, guest accommodation, or additional workspace.
