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
Brook House is a charming detached character home occupying a wonderfully secluded position in the heart of Normandy.
Approached via a private track and set well back from the road, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy and tranquillity, surrounded by mature trees and established grounds.
Extending to 1.25 acres in total, the plot comprises generous formal gardens together with a substantial paddock, creating an increasingly rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, seclusion and scope for improvement.
The house itself offers approximately 1,836 sq ft of accommodation, with the outbuildings and garages totalling over 2,500 sq ft.
Whilst the property now would benefit from renovation throughout, it presents enormous potential to create a superb family home in a highly desirable semi-rural setting.
The attractive façade, with its distinctive bay windows and steeply pitched tiled roof, provides considerable character and kerb appeal, while the extensive grounds offer exciting possibilities for further landscaping and enhancement, subject to any necessary consents.
The ground floor centres around a spacious dual-aspect sitting and dining room extending to over 26 feet in length, featuring a bay window overlooking the front garden and ample space for both formal entertaining and everyday family living.
Adjacent is a separate family room with views over the gardens, together with a conservatory providing a pleasant connection to the outside space.
The kitchen lies to the rear of the property and is complemented by a utility room, while a study offers an ideal space for home working.
Also on the ground floor are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation that could equally suit multi-generational living or guests.
On the first floor are two additional bedrooms together with a bathroom, including a principal bedroom with attractive bay window overlooking the grounds.
The layout offers excellent potential for reconfiguration and enlargement, allowing future owners to tailor the accommodation to their own requirements.
Outside, the property's grounds are undoubtedly one of its defining features.
A sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking and access to a detached garage, substantial outbuildings and a greenhouse.
To the rear, a broad paved terrace enjoys views across the gardens and provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining.
Beyond the immediate garden, expansive lawns lead to a significant paddock enclosed by mature trees and hedging, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop with a wonderful sense of space and countryside living.
Brook House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a private country home with over an acre of grounds, substantial outbuildings and huge potential for improvement, all within convenient reach of Guildford, local amenities and transport links.
The property is connected to mains gas and electricity, with drainage provided by a septic tank.
It will particularly appeal to purchasers seeking a renovation project in a secluded setting where the quality of the plot and position are every bit as impressive as the house itself.
