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
NO ONWARD CHAIN Tucked away in the heart of the highly desirable South Hams village of Holbeton, this charming stone-built cottage offers a wonderful blend of character, space and village living, just moments from local amenities and within easy reach of the South Devon coastline.
Formerly part of the village cider press, the property retains its appealing stone elevations and enjoys deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.
To the ground floor, a generous dual-aspect lounge/diner opens directly to the courtyard and rear garden, providing excellent natural light and a lovely connection to the outdoors.
The kitchen sits adjacent and enjoys views over the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, as well as a family bathroom.
Externally, the cottage benefits from an enclosed rear garden enjoying an elevated outlook across the village and surrounding countryside.
The courtyard area provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining, with steps leading up to the lawned garden. There is allocated parking for two cars.
The property does require updating, but the price does reflect this.
The property is offered with a Share of Freehold, providing additional ownership benefits, and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property in an unspoilt, picturesque village setting.
The property will be sold on a 999-year lease.
There will be no ground rent, and a proposed service charge of around £50 per month will go into a sinking fund covering communal maintenance and building insurance.
It would make a fantastic home for those seeking village life, as well as a second home or holiday let in the sought-after South Hams.
Holbeton is an idyllic rural village featuring a strong community, a popular pub, a primary school, a church, and easy access to Mothecombe Beach and the South West Coast Path.
Plymouth lies within easy reach of wider amenities and transport links.
