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
Occupying a truly idyllic position with far-reaching views towards Kerridge Ridge, Honeysuckle House is the epitome of a quintessential country cottage, beautifully constructed in local stone beneath a traditional flagged roof.
Yet behind its charming facade lies a thoughtfully reimagined and impressively spacious home.
Originally two separate cottages, the property was skilfully combined by the current owners, who have created a stunning and cohesive residence.
Their meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout, blending retained period character with high-quality contemporary finishes, bespoke joinery, and modern insulation to ensure exceptional comfort year-round.
The accommodation is both versatile and inviting, comprising a porch, entrance hall, cloakroom, and a cosy snug.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan family room and dining kitchen, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a light-filled sun porch, utility room, and additional W.C.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while three further well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
The property is fronted by attractive sash windows and has the benefit of gas fired central heating.
Externally, the property is set back from Rainow Road behind a charming and picturesque green, and a garage provides off-road parking and useful storage.
To the rear, accessed via Penny Lane, there are two additional parking spaces leading to a delightful sunken garden, offering a high degree of privacy alongside beautiful countryside views.
A lovely front terrace provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the outlook towards the Ridge.
