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 Truly Exceptional Five/Six Bedroom Period Home in Whitley This outstanding double-fronted semi-detached period residence is brimming with character, charm, and elegance.
Behind its handsome façade lies over 2,249 square feet of beautifully renovated living space, spread across three spacious floors — perfect for larger families seeking both style and substance.
Situated on the sunny side of the ever-popular St Malo Road in the highly sought-after district of Whitley, this home is within the catchment area for the outstanding Woodfield Primary School and just a short stroll from the picturesque Haigh Hall Plantations Country Park.
The area is renowned for its impressive period properties and its appeal to families looking for a blend of tradition and convenience.
Internally, the home has been tastefully modernised while retaining its period charm.
A welcoming original glazed entrance porch leads into a grand reception hallway, where the beautifully preserved spindled staircase makes a striking first impression.
A convenient WC/cloakroom is also located just off the hallway. There are three generous reception spaces on the ground floor.
The first is a stylish formal lounge showcasing classic features such as a decorative ceiling, coving and a dado rail. The second reception room mirrors this elegance.
To the rear, a warm and inviting snug features a fabulous open fireplace with a wood-burning stove and double-glazed French doors opening onto the rear garden.
The traditional kitchen blends functionality and charm, complete with a range of integrated appliances and contrasting wood and laminate worktops.
A separate utility room houses laundry appliances, keeping the main living spaces clutter-free.
The first floor is accessed via a stunning returning staircase, with a feature window flooding the space with natural light.
This level offers four spacious and bright bedrooms, each with its own appeal.
The luxurious family bathroom is a standout feature, comprising a four-piece suite with a vanity unit, WC, slipper bath, and separate walk-in shower.
The second floor is a true highlight — a fully converted master suite that spans the entire top level.
This expansive retreat includes a sitting area (or optional sixth bedroom), an en suite shower room and Velux roof windows that fill the space with natural light.
Externally, the home enjoys a private, low-maintenance rear garden with a sunny south-westerly aspect.
The garden includes a mix of lawn and gravelled seating areas, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented family home in one of Whitley's most desirable locations.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, space, and lifestyle this property has to offer.
