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.

Beautifully presented throughout, the main residence has been thoughtfully updated to an exceptional standard, combining modern comfort with timeless character.
Light-filled living spaces, quality finishes, and tasteful décor create an inviting and refined atmosphere, ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
At the heart of the property, a discreet internal doorway opens into the original, untouched part of the house (coloured grey on the floorplan)– a rare and captivating treasure that has remained preserved through time.
