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.

The reception room runs the full width of the bungalow and is particularly spacious, with plenty of room for a good-sized dining table and chairs to one end and a comfortable living space at the other.

These doors allow in an abundance of natural light, as well as frame the wonderful cathedral view.
The master bedroom can be found adjoining the reception room overlooking the garden, and is a comfortable double room.
