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
Set along a quiet country lane in the sought-after village of Ripe, this charming five-bedroom detached home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle, surrounded by open countryside and with far-reaching views towards the South Downs.
Enjoying a wonderfully peaceful position with minimal passing traffic, the property takes full advantage of its setting, with uninterrupted outlooks across fields and a real sense of space, privacy, and seclusion.
It’s a setting that lends itself perfectly to a slower pace of life, while remaining conveniently connected.
Internally, the home is warm and characterful, with well-balanced and versatile accommodation suited to both family living and entertaining.
The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, while the conservatory provides a bright and relaxing space to sit and enjoy views towards the lane and the South Downs beyond.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous accommodation, including a principal bedroom with en-suite.
