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
A substantial family home with four double bedrooms and a garden that backs directly onto The Ridge playing fields, with some finishing off works required Extended and remodelled by the current owners, this spacious four-bedroom semi-detached home offers the kind of generous accommodation that makes family life feel easy.
With four double bedrooms, a fantastic open-plan kitchen/diner, a large main living room and a superb rear garden backing directly onto The Ridge playing fields, there is plenty to love about the space and potential on offer here.
The kitchen/diner is the real hub of the home, with the extension creating a generous open-plan space that gives the whole room a fantastic sense of scale.
The modern kitchen is fitted with a central island, creating a sociable focal point and plenty of space for preparing meals, while there is ample room for a dining table and chairs alongside.
It is the sort of room that can easily become the centre of everyday family life, whether you're enjoying a quiet breakfast or having friends and family over.
The main living room is also generously proportioned, providing plenty of space for comfortable seating and family time.
The side extension adds further practicality, creating a garage area to the front which is best suited to a small car, motorbikes, bicycles or general storage, with a useful utility room positioned behind.
The ground floor also includes a shower room, although this is currently unfinished and will require further work to turn it into a fully usable space.
At present, much of the room is formed from studwork, with plumbing already in place, leaving the incoming owners to complete the plastering, flooring, fittings and other finishing works required.
Upstairs, there are four genuinely generous double bedrooms, giving plenty of flexibility for family members, guests, hobbies or working from home.
The main bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite bathroom, while another bedroom features fitted wardrobes and access to a carpeted loft room.
This additional space is a brilliant bonus, particularly for children, and could make a great den, playroom or hideaway. The fourth bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes.
The family bathroom is currently being refitted by the sellers and, we are informed, will be completed for the incoming owners to enjoy on completion.
The new bathroom will comprise a walk-in shower, WC and basin. Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight.
Backing directly onto The Ridge playing fields, it enjoys an open outlook and a wonderful sense of space, with a gate providing direct access.
The garden itself is mainly laid to lawn with planted borders, offering plenty of room for children to play, summer entertaining or simply enjoying some time outside.
There is also a garden shed and a former garage, currently providing excellent storage but offering exciting potential for a future home gym, workshop or dedicated workspace.
To the front, a generous driveway provides parking for up to four cars, while the section of driveway running alongside the house will require some finishing work.
As with any home that has been remodelled, there are some works still to complete, including areas of plastering, decorating and flooring, together with the ground-floor shower room and finishing works to the driveway.
However, the significant transformation undertaken by the current owners has already created the foundations of a fantastic family home.
For buyers looking for generous space, a great garden and the opportunity to put their own stamp on a home without having to start the whole project from scratch, this could be a particularly exciting opportunity.
