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
An impressive four-bedroom detached house, which is beautifully presented throughout, occupying a lovely position within this exclusive gated development.
The house was built in 2015 and has been in the care of the current owners since 2024.
You enter through the front door into the entrance hall, with a cloakroom, utility, stairs rising to the first floor with storage beneath and doors opening to the principal rooms.
The kitchen is located to the rear of the house and benefits from a fitted variety of bespoke shaker style cabinetry with granite work surfaces over and inset sink with drainer.
There are twin integrated high-level ovens, four ring hob with hood over, dishwasher and fridge freezer.
From the window, there is a lovey view to the rear aspect over the back garden and a breakfast bar between the kitchen and the living area.
The utility room has space/plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, again with granite work tops with an inset sink.
The Owners Love - The current owners have loved the location and “the ease of access to the Quantock hills, whilst still being able to get into Taunton in a short time in the car”.
Their favourite thing about the house is the position and the “tucked away spot in the gated community”. They are particularly going to miss “the sense of luxury with this house.
It was built with an excellent attention to detail and has so much charm and character for a modern house”.
"The village school is just across the road and is a wonderful infant school with a lovely, friendly community".
The living area is open plan and enjoys natural light from dual aspects with large bi-folding doors and a glass roof lantern to the rear aspect and window to the front.
The lounge is situated at the front and the dining area at the rear, finished with intricate detailing and elegant wall panelling.
The lantern overhead floods the room with natural light, and the bi-fold doors offer easy access out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, on the first-floor landing, there are doors to three of the double bedrooms and family bathroom. The two back bedrooms each have their own en-suite shower rooms, with wash basins and WC.
The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin, and a bath with shower attachment over.
Stairs rise to the master suite on the top floor, with a private landing complete with a window seat and a large built-in wardrobe, the master bedroom itself and the ensuite, with a shower, washbasin, and WC.
George Loves - “I was blown away by just how well presented the house was from top to bottom!
It has clearly been so well looked after and cared for by the owners and is ready for the next family to come in and enjoy. The position is also something I was extremely impressed with.
Not just the location with Kingston St Mary, but the seclusion too! The elevated setting within the gated development really sets this apart.
This house really does need to be seen to be appreciated.” Outside, there is a secluded enclosed garden, which enjoys a good degree of privacy at the rear.
Initially, there is a good size patio area, which leads onto an artificial lawn, all enclosed with timber fencing, with well stocked borders and a variety of trees and shrubs.
There is a side gate with access to the garage with a driveway in front for two vehicles. Tenure - Freehold. Council Tax - Band G. Gas - Mains Supply. Water - Mains Supply. Electric - Mains Supply.
