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
Located in a wonderful semi-rural location at the end of a private road, Grapnells Farm Cottage is a spacious four bedroom detached family home, full of character and charm, sitting on an overall plot of 0.6 acre (stls).
The living space is set out over two floors extending to approximately 1,600 sq. Ft. (sts) of generous accommodation.
Entering through the front door you access a spacious reception hall that in turn leads through to the dining room, beyond which is a welcoming living room with feature wood burner and French doors opening on to the patio and grounds.
At the rear of the property is a lovely open-plan kitchen / breakfast room with a quarry tiled floor and glazed on three sides, again looking out over the mature gardens and grounds, this is the real hub of the home and also provides access to the cloakroom.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, three of which are double rooms, with a beautiful Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom to bedroom one and bedroom two, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom that benefits from a four-piece suite including bath and shower.
Externally, the generous grounds are perfect for anyone looking to live the good life. At the rear of the plot there is ample parking for several vehicles, and a 7kw EV charger by the parking area.
To the side of which there is a substantial timber outbuilding, that would make a great home office or somewhere for anyone looking to run a business.
In addition, the property enjoys an array of photovoltaic solar panels with a generous feed in tariff.
