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
The cottage itself is truly delightful, with all the character and warmth you would expect while providing the comforts needed for modern living.
There is a wonderfully light, bright kitchen / breakfast room with bi-folds which open onto a patio, a cosy sitting room with wood burner, a large conservatory with beach garden beyond, cloakroom, and two double bedrooms, both with en-suites.
Not only would it make a super main residence, but the fact that it is situated in a highly desirable tourist area means that it could provide a holiday home for someone looking for a perfect rural retreat.
This property also benefits from a driveway providing good amounts of off-street parking, a pre-fab garage, and a lovely garden which wraps around the house and provides an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside.
Located at the end of a hidden lane and backing onto grazing land.
Willow Cottage offers everything you imagine from a truly rural retreat, and yet is conveniently positioned within easy reach of the town and railway station.
