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
Occupying an attractive corner plot at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, this delightful and versatile family home offers spacious accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by a southerly-facing, landscaped garden and a detached garage with off-road parking.
Having been thoughtfully extended, the property provides excellent flexibility for modern family life, with generous reception space, an extended kitchen/diner, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Ideally suited to mature families or those seeking the peace and charm of village living, this is a home that offers both space and versatility in a desirable rural setting.
The accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance porch, leading into a central inner hallway providing access to all of the principal ground floor rooms, together with a useful ground floor cloakroom/WC.
To the right is the particularly generous lounge, which extends the full length of the property and enjoys a bright dual aspect, allowing plenty of natural light to flow throughout.
A feature chimney breast incorporating a modern dual-fuel woodburning stove creates an attractive focal point, while a sliding patio door provide a seamless connection to the rear garden, making this a wonderful space in which to relax or entertain.
To the left of the hallway is a versatile reception room, currently utilised as a home office but offering the flexibility to suit a variety of requirements, whether as a snug, playroom, dining room or additional sitting room.
Beyond this, the extended kitchen/diner provides a superb hub for family life, with ample fitted storage, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and a useful breakfast nook.
Twin French doors open directly out onto the rear garden, creating a light and sociable space for everyday living and entertaining.
A separate utility room adds further practicality and completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and its own private en suite shower room, providing a comfortable retreat away from the main living areas.
Three further well-proportioned bedrooms offer excellent versatility for family members, guests or additional home working space, with all three bedrooms served by a generous four-piece family bathroom.
Outside, the property occupies an attractive corner position, with mature shrubbery flanking the steps to the front entrance creating a welcoming approach.
There is also useful access to an integrated storage room from the front of the property, which offers further potential and could, subject to any necessary consents, be incorporated into or used to extend the existing utility space.
To the rear, the enclosed, southerly-facing, landscaped garden provides a wonderful outdoor setting, enclosed by a combination of brick walling and fencing.
Established flower and shrub borders, areas of lawn and paved patio seating create an attractive and private environment, ideal for relaxing outdoors or entertaining during the warmer months.
The garden also benefits from direct access onto the main street, together with a pathway leading to the detached single garage and associated off-road parking spaces.
The garage is particularly practical, featuring an electric roller door, power and lighting.
