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
Granary Cottage is a beautifully presented link-detached home set within the peaceful village of Hessay, just a short drive from York and excellent transport links.
Occupying an attractive corner plot, the property offers a strong combination of space, privacy and versatility, with private gardens, off-street parking and an integral garage.
The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance vestibule leading into a versatile reception room, currently used as a sitting room.
At the heart of the home is a generous dining kitchen fitted with shaker-style units, integrated appliances and ample workspace.
This space flows seamlessly into a bright garden room, enjoying views across the rear garden and creating an ideal additional living or dining area.
A useful utility room, ground floor WC and internal access to the garage add further practicality. Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a lawned front garden offering privacy from the road, an enclosed rear garden ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation, and a driveway providing off-street parking leading to the garage.
The corner plot position enhances both space and privacy. Hessay is a highly regarded village location offering a peaceful rural feel while remaining within easy reach of York city centre.
The A59 and surrounding road networks provide excellent commuter access, while local amenities and countryside walks are close by, making this an ideal setting for family living.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and flexible home in a sought-after village setting with strong connectivity to York.
Secure This Property with Our Buyer Protection Reservation Scheme This property can be secured with an optional £2,500 reservation deposit, which forms part of the agreed purchase price and is not an additional fee.
The reservation agreement provides buyers with an exclusivity period, typically between 8 and 10 weeks, during which the seller agrees not to accept offers from other prospective purchasers.
Once the reservation deposit is paid, the property is removed from the market, providing greater certainty and significantly reducing the risk of gazumping.
This allows buyers to proceed with mortgage applications, surveys and conveyancing with increased confidence, helping to create a smoother and more secure purchasing process.
For further information regarding the reservation agreement and how it works, please contact the sales team. Early viewing is highly recommended.
