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.

To the rear of the site is a detached stone-built studio, with a modern, pitched, tiled roof. The studio benefits from two sets of glazed doors opening directly onto the courtyard.
