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
3 Withymills Cottages is a charming double-fronted stone building, originally built in the 1820s and later extended and modernised to offer both character and comfort.
End-of-terrace in a row of three, this three-bedroom property sits within the beautiful Somerset countryside, close to Timsbury and just a few miles southwest of Bath.
Set within gardens that incorporate a wildlife-rich woodland area, a small orchard, and space for growing vegetables, the grounds are large enough to host summer garden parties and offer guests the chance to camp.
What’s more, the property boasts a range of outbuildings, including a double carport, woodshed, workshop, and storeroom.
‘We instantly fell in love with the cottage because of its original character, spacious living, and idyllic location.
Being fully renovated meant that we were able to immediately enjoy its relaxed and homely charm,’ say the owners, who have continued to update the property since they purchased it eight years ago.
‘This has included a new roof, a modern hot water system, a new kitchen, a utility room, and a spacious ensuite, to name just a few things!’ On the ground floor are a kitchen with in-built appliances including a fridge/freezer, 5 ring induction hob and double oven, a utility, W.C.
and boot room, and a reception room with log burner that leads into a dining area with French windows giving access to the garden.
Upstairs is arranged with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom featuring an airing cupboard and storage.
There is an ensuite shower room with underfloor heating serving the principal bedroom which features an original renovated elm floor and built in wardrobes.
While situated in a quiet rural location with walking routes right on the doorstep, this wonderful home offers easy access to both Bath and Bristol, as well as a range of excellent local amenities.
‘Timsbury village offers more than you first realise, including a countryside gym, Vale House Kitchen cookery school, a great café, shops, and a friendly pub, all within walking distance.’ ‘Bath city centre and Keynsham are around 20 minutes by car, and both offer trains to Bristol – Bath also has a fast service to London Paddington.’ ‘Neighbours-wise, we’ve always helped each other out with tasks like feeding pets or keeping the lane clear of fallen branches.’ ‘We particularly love the sitting room area, with its exposed original beams and cosy wood burner.
It also offers ample space for entertaining.’ ‘We enjoy the far-reaching, uninterrupted views from both the garden and the house.
We regularly see deer and hear birdsong every day, and in the summer, we even catch sight of hot air balloons drifting across the valley.’ ‘We will undoubtedly miss the calm and peaceful nature of the cottage.’ Additional Information: Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.
