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
Situated on the rural outskirts of Clare and backing onto open farmland, this three-bedroom semi-detached farm cottage offers an exciting opportunity for those seeking a project in a truly idyllic setting.
Located within the highly desirable village of Belchamp St Paul, the property enjoys a peaceful position surrounded by rolling countryside, yet remains within easy reach of village amenities and the historic market town of Clare, just one mile away.
Belchamp St Paul is renowned for its charm, centred around a picturesque village green and offering a well-regarded primary school, a traditional pub known for its excellent food, a thatched village hall, and a parish church.
Excellent transport connections are available further afield, with routes to London Liverpool Street, as well as convenient access to Stansted Airport, Chelmsford, Colchester, Cambridge, and the M25 (Junction 27 within approximately one hour’s drive).
The cottage itself sits on a generous 0.31-acre plot with mature gardens and vehicular access to the rear.
The property requires extensive modernisation, including works to the heating system, electrics and plumbing, but offers tremendous scope for enhancement.
Planning permission has already been granted for a two-storey extension, allowing buyers to create a significantly larger home tailored to their needs.
The existing accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, three first-floor bedrooms, and a family bathroom.
With its sizeable plot, countryside backdrop, and no onward chain, the property presents a rare opportunity to develop a charming rural home in a beautiful and well-connected Suffolk village.
