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.

Bursting with period charm and original architectural details, the property retains high ceilings, ornate cornicing, sash windows and feature fireplaces throughout.

Generously proportioned rooms allow for flexible living arrangements, while the property enjoys lovely views over substantial mature gardens and surrounding countryside and even a slice of your own private woodlands.
Originally built as a rectory, Hafod Y Bryn was extended in the late 19th Century to serve as a holiday retreat for the prosperous London barrister, Samuel John Pope QC.
In the 1950's the property was divided into 3 separate dwellings. The house further boasts a rich literary connection.
