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
New price and no upward chain. An opportunity to become immersed in Victorian splendour awaits in this fine detached property which has been very tastefully extended and sympathetically refurbished.
Some homes just have a warming ambience about them and this is one of them.
Emphasising this, are the two generously proportioned reception rooms both having notable fireplaces and the spacious kitchen breakfast room, convenient for the family to gather and if required, overflow into the directly accessible secluded garden.
Parking for two medium sized cars to the side of the property, in addition to a further hardstanding parking space accessed via double opening wooden gates at the rear.
Property Walk Through The solid wooden entrance door has a glazed panel over to introduce natural light to the hallway which has a staircase rising to the first floor and gives access to both reception rooms.
Both doors accessing these rooms have been stripped and sanded to give a natural effect.
The sitting room located to the front of the property, has a wrought iron fireplace housing a coal effect gas fire mounted over a tiled hearth.
Wooden flooring contributes to the rustic effect apparent in this room. There are also protective wooden blinds to the windows and coving to the ceiling.
An open archway connects to a family room, again with a fireplace though in this instance housing a wood burning stove. In the recess alongside are built in cabinets.
Located to the corner of this room is a cloakroom with wash basin in vanity surround and WC. Progress to the utility room which has plumbing for a washing machine and housing for a freezer.
A door exits this area to the courtyard at the side of the property. Beyond the utility room lies the kitchen/breakfast room with its vast array of built in wall and base cabinets.
The gas boiler is also discreetly located within a built in cupboard.
Integrated to the kitchen are a dishwasher, freezer and "Rangemaster" cooker with a stainless steel splashback and extractor hood over. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a family sized table.
There is underfloor heating to this area and a door opens into the garden.
The staircase rises to a spacious first floor landing where there is a straight spindled balustrade with a polished wooden handrail. Access is available to the loft space from this area.
A door with stained glass inserts opens to the Master Bedroom, a room with a difference with its interesting rooflines.
It is also a room full of natural light, having a Velux rooflight in addition to a double glazed window on the southern elevation.
En suite to this room is a fully tiled large shower cubicle with screen, a washbasin and WC. A useful heated towel rail and extractor fan are also in situ.
Two further double bedrooms and a large single room are also accessed from the landing in addition to the family bathroom which has a roll top bath mounted over ball and claw pedestals, Shower with screen, WC and wash basin.
Externally, a selection of shrubs and plants are visible to the front behind a stone retaining wall with a gravel driveway and parking to one side of the property.
This driveway also allows pedestrian access to the wrap around gardens which are predominantly hard landscaped. There are seating areas of choice, both sheltered and secluded and raised flower beds.
Car parking is also available securely within the garden in addition to parking down the side of the property for two medium sized cars. Outside lighting, brick wall and fencing define the boundaries.
