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
Rhubarb Cottage is a charming and deceptively spacious three-bedroom cottage set in the heart of the highly regarded East Neuk village of Kilrenny.
The property offers a warm and welcoming interior full of character, with exposed brickwork, original stove and a relaxed country atmosphere throughout.
The front door opens into an entrance hall leading through to an open-plan lounge and dining room.
This beautifully proportioned living space forms the heart of the home and enjoys dual aspects to both the Main Street and the rear garden, allowing excellent natural light throughout the day.
The original stove set within the fireplace creates a charming focal point, adding character to the room and enhancing its warm, inviting atmosphere.
A kitchen area sits adjacent to the living space and is enhanced by an attractive exposed brick wall, adding texture and charm.
The kitchen is well laid out with fitted units and an electric cooker, offering a practical yet characterful workspace.
The ground floor also benefits from a generously sized double bedroom and a bathroom, providing flexible accommodation and the option for single-level living if required.
On the upper floor, there are two further bedrooms, both enjoying peaceful rear aspects overlooking the garden.
One of the bedrooms features a striking exposed brick wall, reinforcing the cottage’s individual character. The landing provides access to a useful eaves storage cupboard.
Externally, Rhubarb Cottage enjoys a particularly private and established rear garden, laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and planting.
There is a patio area ideal for outdoor dining, along with an external store, creating a tranquil and secluded outdoor space rarely found in such a central village setting.
