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
1 Monks Hall Cottages bares a datestone marked 1951 and was built as a farm workers cottage to Monks Hall.
The approach, off Audlem Road, is over a half mile tarmacadam drive (Mill Lane) to a shared (with number 2 Monks Hall Cottages) drive and its own car parking space and garage.
So often, cottages in this type of location are beyond the affordability of the majority of buyers and have been developed in such a way that leaves no room for future customisation.
This incredibly rare buying opportunity delivers the opposite, with a fair guide price and extensive potential to improve and enlarge, subject to planning permission.
If you enjoy wildlife and nature, walking or running or observing open skylines and sunsets then this setting is going to be difficult to better.
All of this and just 1.5 miles from Audlem village centre and 6 miles from the market town of Nantwich.
