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
Positioned on the northern side Bildeston village centre, Hope Cottage is an attractive grade II listed building which probably dates from the mid-16th century, with a later 18th / 19th century façade.
Offering a notable amount of natural light throughout, the presentable accommodation comprises a twin aspect front sitting room with a wood burner, and a fine 16th century archway which leads into the rear hall.
The adjacent dining room provides exposed moulded ceiling beams and a further fireplace.
Beyond the inner hall with a door the garden is the recently fitted kitchen, with granite worksurfaces on two walls with inset butlers sink, a Rangemaster gas hob and oven, dishwasher, and a Grant oil-fired boiler.
The remaining ground floor consists of a cloakroom with a utility room beyond, with beech worksurfaces, additional cupboards and a further door to the garden.
Via a rear landing, the first floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms which again offer an abundance of natural light. All the bedrooms are served by a white suite shower room.
Outside, the property provides a charming walled rear garden, consisting of a raised brick terrace which leads onto an area of lawn.
Towards the far south-western boundary is a shingle area with a timber shed.
Although allocated parking is absent, unrestricted spaces are readily available in the immediate vicinity along the High Street, as well as the Market Square which is about 100 meters away.
Location Located about 100 metres from the village centre, Bildeston is a popular mid-Suffolk village approximately 5 miles from the market town of Hadleigh.
The village is well served by a thriving Post Office/General Stores, Doctor’s Surgery, Primary School, the acclaimed Bildeston Crown, pubs, and the nearby Hollow Trees Farm Shop.
Services Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Oil-fired heating.
