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
Coming to the market with no onward chain, this exceptional, newly renovated five-bedroom detached home offers generous living space across three floors.
Ideally located close to Chester-le-Street town centre, the property benefits from excellent transport links, local shops, and bus routes right on the doorstep, making it perfect for families and commuters alike.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a spacious and beautifully presented entrance hallway.
To the left sits a large, bright living room, enhanced by a stylish glass panel that provides a visual connection to the kitchen.
Leading on from the living room is a useful storage room and a modern ground-floor bathroom, adding to the practicality of the layout.
Continuing through the hallway, you reach the true heart of the home, a stunning, newly renovated kitchen and dining space.
Designed with both functionality and style in mind, it boasts ample worktop space and storage, making it ideal for family life and entertaining.
Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room, with direct access to the extensive rear garden, offering fantastic potential for outdoor living or future development.
The first floor comprises four generous double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own contemporary en-suite bathroom.
Three of the bedrooms enjoy views over the rear garden, while the principal bedroom features a walk-in en-suite, adding a touch of luxury and individuality to the home.
The second floor offers further versatility, with a fifth double bedroom, two additional storage rooms (which could potentially be converted into further bedrooms or office space), and a large, modern family bathroom.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is a gated driveway providing parking for up to four vehicles, along with an attached 20-metre garage accessible from the front.
To the rear, a sheltered patio area opens out to a substantial garden, offering endless possibilities for landscaping, entertaining, or family use.
The rear garden also provides direct access to the garage.
