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 and immaculately presented five bedroom family home in grounds of a little over a quarter of an acre.
The Oaks is an impressive home, beautifully presented with modern fixtures and fittings and a layout that flows well and is in tune with the needs of a modern family lifestyle.
There is a welcoming entrance hall with access to all the principal rooms to include a superb dual aspect sitting room, a study and the fantastic kitchen/breakfast room.
This ‘social’ room has recently been remodelled and benefits from quartz worktops, smart lighting, integrated appliances and a large island unit- an absolutely fabulous space.
Furthermore there is a practical utility room and a cloakroom downstairs whilst upstairs there are five double bedrooms (two with en-suite shower facilities) and a luxury family bathroom (with separate walk-in shower).
The master bedroom is particularly impressive with there being an enormous amount of built-in storage as well as the modern en-suite with his and hers basins.
The house is in first rate order and benefits from gas fired central heating, double glazing (grey aluminium which has been recently fitted) throughout and a pressurised hot water system.
There are brick piers at the start of the drive with electric gates and there is plenty of parking to the front of the house as well as the double garage (with remote controlled doors).
The private rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and there are an attractive variety of mature trees also.
There is a terrace that is ideal for entertaining and there is a large area laid to lawn. The Oaks is a first class family home and an internal visit is naturally recommended.

What3words///remark.fled.finds Anti Money Laundering Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
W&W use a specialist service called "Verify 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals.
These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale).
There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
