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
Approached via a charming entrance through a beautiful fore garden where the entrance door with a glazed fanlight opens into the first of two reception rooms - a delightful living room that is both light and airy.
Boasting a high ceiling, decorative picture rail, and an attractive front-facing walk-in bay window, the room is centred around a feature Adam-style fireplace.
Stripped pine internal doors add a characterful feature throughout the home.
Flowing through into the second reception room, you'll find a well-proportioned dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Featuring a dado rail and a LPG gas fire with back boiler set within a wood surround with tiled hearth and back.
A stripped pine door leads to the staircase rising to the first floor, while an adjacent lobby provides access to a useful guest cloakroom.
To the rear, the breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of base units wrapping around to provide ample workspace with roll-top work surfaces.
There is an integral electric hob with oven beneath, along with space for a washing machine and fridge.
A sink unit sits beneath a double glazed window overlooking the beautiful rear gardens, with far-reaching views towards the National Forest. A uPVC double glazed door provides direct access outside.
To the first floor, the landing leads to two generous double bedrooms along with a family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin.
Externally, the property is set within particularly attractive grounds. To the front, a neat lawned garden is complemented by mature planted borders and a gated pathway leading to the entrance.
A wrought iron gate set within a brick archway opens to the rear gardens - a true highlight of the home.
A beautifully maintained, flower-lined pathway meanders through established planting, passing a patio seating area, well-kept lawn, and ornamental pond, before reaching a lower paved patio - creating a peaceful and private oasis.
At the far end of the garden, with personal door access from the rear garden and shared lane providing vehicular access, is a superb double garage and workshop, complete with light and power, offering excellent storage or potential for hobby use.
