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
The Property The Old Mill is a former mill house, occupying a generous plot of around 0.44 acres with outbuildings and immense scope for redevelopment.
Rich in history and character, the property retains many period details, including exposed timbers and original features, making it a truly unique project for those looking to blend heritage with modern living.
In need of complete renovation, the house offers a rare chance to design and finish a home entirely to your own style and requirements.
The accommodation could be reconfigured to suit contemporary family life while still celebrating the historic charm of the building.
The grounds extend to almost half an acre, providing ample space for landscaped gardens, entertaining areas, or even further development (subject to planning).
The outbuildings add further opportunity, with potential for workshops, studios, or a home office.
This is a property with huge potential - a genuine "Grand Design" opportunity in one of Suffolk's most desirable locations.
The Location Darsham is a well-regarded Suffolk village, ideally placed between the market town of Saxmundham and the seaside town of Southwold.
The village benefits from a mainline railway station, providing regular services to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich, making it attractive for commuters and those seeking a Suffolk retreat.
The nearby Heritage Coast offers unspoilt beaches and coastal walks, with the RSPB reserve at Minsmere, Dunwich Heath, Aldeburgh, and Thorpeness all within easy reach.
Darsham itself has a strong community feel, with a village pub, nursery, and farm shop, while a broader range of amenities can be found in neighbouring towns.
