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 £800,000 - £900,000.
Occupying a secluded plot of approximately half an acre behind mature trees and established hedgerows, Woodside Cottage is an exceptional detached family home extending to over 4,000 sq ft.
Offering tremendous potential for complete refurbishment and modernisation, this is a rare opportunity to create a truly outstanding residence in one of Surrey's most sought-after village locations.
The property is ideally positioned just 0.2 miles' walk from the heart of Smallfield village, where a wide range of everyday amenities include a Co-op convenience store, Post Office, pharmacy, traditional butcher, greengrocer, café, sports club and local shops.
Families are well served by nearby schools including Burstow Primary School, Redehall School, and Oakwood School, making the location particularly attractive for family life.
The extensive ground floor offers wonderfully flexible accommodation, comprising a spacious lounge, separate sitting room, formal dining room, study and generous kitchen/breakfast room.
In addition, there is a large sun room overlooking the gardens together with an impressive 28ft snooker room, complete with bar area, creating an excellent entertaining space.
A useful wine cellar, downstairs wc, detached garage and integral garage further enhance the property's versatility.
Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive, offering five independent double bedrooms, with two benefiting from additional double-sized adjoining rooms.
Subject to reconfiguration, these spaces would lend themselves perfectly to creating luxurious principal and guest suites, giving the property the flexibility to adapt to a variety of lifestyles.
There are also currently 2 bath/shower rooms on the first floor. The Loft is vast and has been used by the previous occupants as various workshop areas as well as for ever important storage.
Although the house now requires complete modernisation throughout, its scale, layout and plot provide an exceptional canvas for buyers wishing to create a substantial country home tailored to their own specification.
Despite its peaceful semi-rural setting, the property enjoys excellent connectivity.
Horley, Gatwick Airport and Three Bridges railway stations are all within a short drive, providing fast and frequent services to London, Brighton and the South Coast, while the nearby M23 offers excellent road access to the wider motorway network.
The result is the perfect balance of tranquil Surrey village living with outstanding commuter convenience.
