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 impressive, recently refurbished and extended four-bedroom detached family home, occupying an enviable position on Longley Lane in Spondon.
Combining a fresh contemporary finish with generous proportions, exceptional entertaining space and beautiful open countryside views, this is a home that makes an immediate impression and continues to impress throughout.
As you approach the property, the first thing that stands out is the recently rendered exterior, giving the home a wonderfully fresh and modern appearance.
The sage-green windows and entrance door complement the rendering beautifully, creating an attractive and distinctive frontage.
A good-sized driveway provides ample off-road parking, whilst the integral garage offers excellent additional storage. The position is another major attraction.
To the side of the property are open fields, providing a fantastic outlook and a wonderful sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find.
The combination of the attractive frontage, open views and generous accommodation makes this a particularly special home.
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful under-stairs storage.
The front-facing lounge/snug provides the perfect retreat away from the main family space.
A comfortable and cosy room, it is ideally suited to relaxing in the evening, enjoying a film or simply having somewhere quieter to unwind.
However, the true centrepiece of the home is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living room.
This exceptional space has been designed around modern family life and entertaining, combining a stylish kitchen with generous dining and seating areas.
The kitchen incorporates a range of fitted base units with rolled-edge work surfaces and integrated appliances, whilst the impressive proportions allow plenty of space for both dining and relaxing.
Skylights flood the room with natural light, while the large bifold doors open directly towards the rear, creating a fantastic connection between the house and garden.
This really is the showpiece of the property — a superb space for everyday family life, entertaining friends and enjoying the views beyond.
The combination of the volume of space, natural light, bifold doors and skylights gives this room an exceptional feel.
Conveniently positioned off the main living area is a useful downstairs WC, alongside a separate utility room providing space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional fridge/freezer.
The utility space also provides practical flexibility for a busy family home. Completing the ground floor is the integral garage, accessed from the front of the property.
This provides excellent storage and practical versatility, particularly for a family looking for additional space.
To the first floor, the property offers four bedrooms, with three providing particularly useful double-bedroom proportions and the fourth currently being utilised as a single bedroom.
The bedrooms are well arranged and benefit from plenty of natural light.
Bedroom one is a well-proportioned principal bedroom with a double-glazed window overlooking the front of the property and radiator.
Bedroom two enjoys a double-glazed window to the rear, providing one of the property's particularly attractive outlooks towards the surrounding open countryside.
Bedroom three is another generous room, benefiting from two double-glazed windows to the front elevation and providing excellent flexibility as a bedroom, guest room or home office if required.
Bedroom four is currently used as a single bedroom and would suit a child's bedroom, nursery or home office.
Despite being the smallest bedroom, it remains a useful and well-presented part of the accommodation.
The bathroom is positioned on the first floor and is fitted with a wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail, together with two double-glazed windows to the rear elevation.
The first-floor landing provides access to all four bedrooms, the bathroom and a useful storage cupboard.
