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
Offering an unusual degree of flexibility, this substantial semi-detached property is currently arranged as two self-contained flats, presenting an interesting opportunity for investors or buyers seeking a property with scope to adapt and improve.
Extending to approximately 99.3 sq m (1,069 sq ft), the accommodation would benefit from some modernisation but offers generous room sizes, a versatile layout and a number of retained period features, including high ceilings, coving, bay windows and fireplaces.
The ground floor flat comprises a particularly spacious double bedroom, separate lounge, fitted kitchen, bathroom and separate WC, while the first floor provides a lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom.
Outside, the property benefits from gardens to both the front and rear, with the substantial rear garden offering excellent potential for landscaping and creating an attractive private outdoor space.
The existing two-flat configuration could be retained for investment purposes, or there is potential to explore reinstatement as a single family home, subject to any necessary planning, building regulation, mortgage or other relevant consents.
