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
Occupying a defined plot along Gawthorpe Lane, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a site with an existing home, alongside granted planning consent for the change of use and conversion of the attached barn into a second residential dwelling.
Set within an open rural landscape, the property enjoys wide, uninterrupted views across gently rolling green fields.
The outlook extends over pasture bordered by dry-stone walls, mature hedgerows, and working farmlands.
The site benefits from a clearly defined curtilage, driveway access, and allocated parking as shown on the approved layout.
Grassland beyond the domestic grounds is to be retained, with additional tree planting included within the consented plans.
The existing dwelling offers significant potential for renovation, providing an appealing prospect for those looking to modernize a characterful home.
Currently arranged as a well-proportioned three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, it retains much of its original cottage charm, including exposed ceiling beams and deep-set windowsills that perfectly frame the surrounding countryside.
The living room and dining room offer well-proportioned reception spaces, both featuring exposed beams.
The living room is centred around a substantial stone fireplace, while the dining room provides a flexible space for family meals or entertaining.
The kitchen is generous in size with a practical layout, ample worktop space and an original stone fireplace, offering excellent potential for updating while retaining its rustic charm.
Just off the kitchen is the second entrance to the home, which provides ample space for storing muddy boots, along with an additional downstairs WC.
There are three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles, all enjoying natural light. Each room offers a simple, adaptable layout suitable for a range of uses.
The accommodation is completed by a functional family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite and shower enclosure, with scope for cosmetic enhancement if desired.
The approved scheme presents a thoughtfully designed barn conversion that respects the building's heritage while creating a well-balanced two-storey layout.
The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, complemented by a separate snug or study and a spacious living room with garden access.
