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
SmoothSale is delighted to present this chain-free three-bedroom character cottage, occupying an attractive position within a small hamlet approximately one mile from the popular market town of Wigton.
Offering considerably more space than first impressions might suggest, the property combines generous family accommodation with a wealth of traditional character, including exposed beams and attractive stone-flagged flooring.
The ground floor provides an excellent choice of living spaces, with a welcoming living room, separate sitting room and dedicated dining room offering plenty of flexibility for family life, entertaining or home working.
A large conservatory creates a further bright and versatile reception space overlooking the garden.
The kitchen provides practical storage and workspace and is complemented by a separate utility room, which also incorporates a useful shower and WC.
Upstairs are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for families, couples requiring additional space or those needing a dedicated home office.
A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation. Outside, the property benefits from gardens to both the front and rear, providing attractive outdoor areas to enjoy.
A particularly appealing feature is the substantial separate workshop located across the lane, offering excellent potential for storage, hobbies, practical use or workspace.
Alongside the workshop is off-road parking for two vehicles.
Combining the charm of a traditional cottage with surprisingly spacious accommodation and excellent additional external space, this distinctive home enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently positioned for the amenities of Wigton.
Offered to the market chain-free, viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and versatility on offer.
Priced competitively to reflect its current condition, with refurbishment costs already factored into the asking price - offering an exciting opportunity for buyers to add value and create their ideal space.
