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
A substantial and thoughtfully arranged detached house, offering versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,300 sq ft, together with a self-contained detached annexe, all set within established gardens enjoying a rural outlook to the rear.
Grovebury House provides well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, designed to offer both flexibility and a natural sense of flow.
The principal living space is centred around a generous kitchen/dining room, which links well with the adjoining reception areas and forms the hub of the house, particularly well-suited to modern family life.
A separate family room provides a more relaxed day-to-day sitting area, whilst additional ground floor rooms offer flexibility for use as further reception space, bedroom accommodation or home working.
A particularly appealing feature is the first floor sitting room, an impressive space extending to approximately 30ft in length, with doors opening onto a balcony.
From here there are attractive views across the gardens and adjoining farmland, creating a calm and elevated retreat, well removed from the main living areas below.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged to provide both comfort and practicality, with the principal bedroom enjoying en suite facilities and the remaining rooms served by bath and shower rooms, making the house equally suited to family occupation or those who regularly accommodate guests.
Outside The property is set back from Ixworth Road and approached via driveways providing extensive off-road parking, in addition to a double garage.
The gardens are a particularly attractive feature, being of a good size and thoughtfully arranged with areas of lawn, decking and seating, together with mature planting.
The rear boundary enjoys an open aspect over farmland, contributing to the property's overall sense of space and privacy.
Annexe Accommodation The detached annexe is a significant and valuable addition, providing genuinely independent accommodation separate from the main house.
Well laid out, it includes a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room, together with its own entrance and outside space.
