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
Within walking distance of the village centre, this charming grade two listed two-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern styling, ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or young families.
Beautifully refreshed throughout in a calming Farrow & Ball palette, every room has been carefully curated to complement the home’s original charm while introducing elegant contemporary touches.
The cosy living space centres around a striking open oak beam fireplace, perfectly positioned and ready for a wood burner or open fire, creating an atmospheric focal point for cosy evenings in.
The kitchen continues the cottage aesthetic beautifully, where original brick detailing surrounds the oven, now enhanced with handcrafted terracotta tiles that add warmth, texture, and individuality.
Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms, both filled with natural light and character, alongside a recently fitted beautifully bespoke bathroom accented with Rowen & Wren fixtures and elegant Claybrook tiling, creating a luxurious yet timeless retreat.
Outside, the lifestyle appeal continues.
The south-facing rear garden has been lovingly nurtured into a mature cottage meadow, home to over 50 species of wildflowers — a truly special haven for gardeners, wildlife lovers, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
A garage to the rear, accessed via a right of way through a neighbouring garden and benefiting from the security of a gated entrance, provides practical parking for one vehicle or useful additional storage.
Seamlessly combining classic cottage charm with stylish modern upgrades, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of personality, beautifully finished and ready to enjoy from day one.
