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.

The enclosed large level gardens lie to the south of the house with extensive views over the Blackmore Vale beyond.

The Summer House is just beyond the vegetable patch along the path which also leads along to a large tarmacadam area with the large shed.
