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
Set within an exclusive private lane in a highly sought after setting close to the town, The Old Pump House is a superb single-storey family residence commanding stunning far-reaching countryside views from both the property and its expansive terrace - a truly exceptional backdrop to everyday living.
Complemented by the detached Pump House Cottage, the property offers exceptional versatility for multi-generational living or guest accommodation, all set within mature gardens and grounds of over half an acre.
The accommodation within The Old Pump House is beautifully arranged around a superb triple aspect, vaulted family room with wood burner, forming a striking yet welcoming heart of the home filled with natural light.
This is complemented by a superb vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with aga, ideally designed for both everyday living and entertaining while enjoying the surrounding outlook.
The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish ensuite shower room, with a well appointed guest bedroom also enjoying its own ensuite, while three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, offering excellent and flexible accommodation for family and visitors alike.
The detached Pump House Cottage is a beautifully appointed, self contained residence comprising an entrance hall, sitting room, and a kitchen/dining room, together with a bedroom suite featuring a dressing room and ensuite shower room, as well as a cloakroom.
The cottage enjoys its own private gardens and provides highly versatile accommodation, ideal for extended family, guests, or independent living within the grounds.
Steeped in local history, The Old Pump House originally formed part of the historic Downside Manor estate - a grand Victorian mansion occupying a magnificent hilltop position.
The building once served as the pumping house supplying water from a covered well to the Manor itself, while neighbouring courtyard properties were sympathetically converted from the original coach houses.
Approached via a charming country lane, this small and exclusive enclave of homes combines the peace and beauty of a rural setting with remarkable convenience, being within easy walking distance of both the town centre and railway station.
Although already a superb and highly versatile home in its own right, the property also offers excellent potential for extension, subject to the usual planning consents.
