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
Discover the potential of Canada Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom detached property with breathtaking water views in Lochcarron.
This exceptional opportunity is perfect for those looking to undertake a renovation project and create their dream Highland retreat.
While the cottage requires upgrading and modernising throughout, it offers a blank canvas for imaginative renovation.
Ideal for enthusiastic DIYers or anyone with a vision for transformation, Canada Cottage promises to become a picturesque Highland haven once restored.
The layout includes a kitchen with space for dining, featuring a handy breakfast bar with stools that leads to a spacious lounge with patio doors opening to the garden, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the scenic views.
There is also a formal dining room that could be used as an extra sleeping area if needed.
The property boasts two spacious double bedrooms, with the primary bedroom featuring an en suite shower room, and a slightly smaller third bedroom, providing ample accommodation.
Additionally, a study/office and storage cupboards in the hallway offer practical spaces. A utility area, a small conservatory, and a family bathroom with both a bath and shower complete the interior.
It should be noted that all rooms require decorating and upgrading to reach their full potential.
Externally, Canada Cottage sits on a large garden plot, offering privacy, seclusion, and further development potential (subject to relevant planning).
The nearest neighbour is approximately 100 meters away, ensuring peace and tranquillity in this beautiful rural setting.
