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 £425,000 to £450,000 Set within the village of Stambourne, Jasmine Cottage is a character-filled three-bedroom home offering around 1,250 sq ft of accommodation, established gardens and views across the surrounding fields.
The home has warmth and charm throughout, with exposed beams, timber doors, brick detailing and natural wood tones creating a welcoming first impression.
The layout adds to its character, with split-level areas that create interest as you move through the house.
The lounge is a standout space, centred around a brick fireplace with log burner and framed by exposed beams.
It is a generous and welcoming room, with plenty of space for family time, relaxing and entertaining. Across the hall, the separate sitting room offers another valuable living space.
Currently arranged with a sofa, TV and desk area, it works well as a second reception room while still allowing for a work-from-home setup.
The large galley-style kitchen has a warm, traditional look, with exposed brick detailing, white cabinetry, generous work surface space, a range-style cooker and a ceramic sink.
From here, the home steps down into the dining room, a bright space overlooking the garden and fields beyond. It is a lovely setting for everyday meals, hosting friends and enjoying the outlook.
The ground floor also includes a characterful cloakroom with decorative Heritage-style sanitaryware, adding another memorable detail to the home.
Upstairs, the split-level landing gives the first floor real character, with the stairs branching to different areas of the house.
There are two generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, all benefiting from built-in storage. The first floor also includes a family bathroom, separate WC and useful eaves storage.
Outside, the garden is a real highlight.
There is a generous lawn, established planting, gravel pathways and a raised decked seating area, creating several areas to sit, entertain and enjoy the setting.
With field views and countryside walks nearby, it is a garden that adds so much to the overall appeal of the home.
Stambourne is a peaceful village surrounded by open countryside, with local footpaths and bridleways nearby for those who enjoy getting outside.
Finchingfield is close by, with Thaxted, Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow also within reach, giving the home a countryside setting while keeping nearby market towns, shops and amenities easily accessible
