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 an idyllic semi-rural position on the outskirts of the highly regarded village of Heighington, 'Dormerstiles' is a truly impressive detached stone-built farmhouse offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
Set within approximately 7.3 acres of beautiful grounds, this substantial family home combines the charm and character of a traditional farmhouse with extensive equestrian facilities, making it ideal for those seeking country living without compromising on convenience.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, centred around three generous reception rooms.
The welcoming lounge features an attractive fireplace with a log-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy focal point, while the separate sitting room also benefits from its own character fireplace.
A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining, complemented by a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, together with a practical utility room and separate W.C.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, together with a large family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
The grounds are undoubtedly one of Dormerstiles' most outstanding features.
Beautiful formal gardens surround the property, whilst the extensive land extends to approximately 7.3 acres, offering endless possibilities for equestrian enthusiasts and those looking to embrace a rural lifestyle.
The superb range of outbuildings includes nine stables, a tack room, storage sheds and three exceptionally large polytunnels, for a variety of agricultural, horticultural or leisure pursuits.
There is also a substantial garage and workshop. The property also benefits from solar panels, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs.
Enjoying a peaceful countryside setting yet remaining within easy reach of Heighington Village Dormerstiles represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distintive country residence.
