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
Sitting proudly on a generous corner plot, Doone Cottage looks directly across the local football ground towards rolling countryside beyond.
A neat lawn wraps around one side of the property, while gravelled areas and paved pathways create attractive, low maintenance gardens from the front right round to the rear.
Traditional boundary walls neatly enclose the plot while a shared driveway provides access to the detached timber garage tucked away behind the house.
The lounge and dining room stretches the full depth of the house, making it the natural heart of the home.
Warm brown painted walls create a warm atmosphere while at the front, the lounge centres around a decorative brick fireplace with its gas fire inset.
Wide windows at both ends fill the room with daylight. At the opposite side there’s plenty of space for a family table and chairs. Double glazed French doors open directly into the conservatory.
The conservatory is surrounded by uPVC double glazed windows beneath a translucent roof, it enjoys pleasant views of the garden and gives you another comfortable area for relaxing throughout the year.
Another door from the dining area leads into the kitchen. Arranged in a practical galley layout, it has an excellent amount of storage with light wood effect cabinets running along both sides.
The sink sits beneath the window, while the freestanding cooker sits opposite. Another external door provides convenient access to the side of the property.
Also on the ground floor is the first of three bedrooms. This comfortable double has a wide window with a radiator beneath, cream painted walls and a patterned carpet.
Its position beside the bathroom makes it ideal for anyone with mobility issues or older members of the family.
The bathroom has already benefited from modernisation with warm earthy wetwall panels combining with contrasting black marble effect panels around the bath.
The bath is large with a folding glazed shower screen to the side and a shower above.
A vanity unit on the far wall has the basin and toilet built-in, while a chrome ladder style heated towel radiator completes the room.
The larger of the upstairs bedrooms has sloping ceilings that add character.
Light blue painted walls combine with a deep red patterned carpet, while a large window fills the room with natural daylight.
A built-in storage cupboard is neatly set by the door, providing valuable storage without reducing the available space.
Across the landing, the third bedroom mirrors the shape and character of its neighbour, with the same attractive sloping ceilings creating a cosy atmosphere.
Slightly smaller in size it’s finished with neutral coloured walls, matching patterned carpet and a large window for natural light.
The appeal of Doone Cottage lies in its detached position, generous corner plot and gorgeous views which make it ready for its next owner to make it their own.
