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 charming character cottage with two good sized gardens, parking for four vehicles and beautiful views across the surrounding fields.
Set down a quiet country lane within the peaceful hamlet of Yenston, this delightful home provides characterful and well-proportioned accommodation, within close proximity of Templecombe Railway Station.
Dating back to before 1900, the property is full of period charm and has been carefully improved by the current owners, who have installed an electric boiler and landscaped the gardens.
The accommodation includes a porch, a sitting room with fireplace, a kitchen dining room with bespoke wooden kitchen and wood burner, and a boot room.
There are two double bedrooms, both dual aspect, with a dressing room or study leading from the main bedroom, together with a modern family bathroom.
The property also benefits from double glazed sash windows.
Outside, there is parking for four vehicles and two good sized gardens to the east and west, one enjoying views over the fields and the other attractively landscaped.
With its idyllic setting, the cottage would also make an ideal holiday let.
Sally Lovells Lane enjoys a peaceful rural position surrounded by open fields, while the nearby village of Henstridge offers everyday amenities.
Templecombe Railway Station provides services to London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids, making the location particularly convenient for commuters and those needing wider transport links.
The Property Inside Ground Floor The property is approached from the front via a garden gate and path leading to the porch.
The front door opens into the porch, which leads through to a small hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the sitting room and kitchen dining room.
The sitting room has a window to the front and a feature fireplace, with built-in shelving to either side and wooden flooring.
The kitchen dining room is the heart of the home and is fitted with a range of bespoke wooden units, with work surfaces and a sink and drainer set beneath the window.
There is open shelving, wooden flooring and ceiling downlights. The brick fireplace with wood burner forms a lovely focal point, and there is ample space for a family dining table.
A door leads through to the boot room, which provides a practical space for coats and boots and gives access to the outside.
First Floor Stairs rise to the landing with doors leading off to both bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is a good sized double room with dual aspect windows enjoying views over the fields.
It also has the benefit of a dressing room, which could equally be used as a study or home office. Bedroom two is a further good sized double room, also dual aspect, with a built-in cupboard.
The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite consisting of a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate shower enclosure, a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and a WC, with a chequered tiled floor.

Truly a peaceful garden to relax in and enjoy the countryside surroundings.
