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 Rare Blend of Countryside Tranquillity and Town Convenience This outstanding executive detached family home offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful edge-of-town setting with easy access to the vibrant High Street and Royston Mainline Station, as well as picturesque countryside walks just moments away.
From the moment you step inside, the home impresses with its sense of space and light. A grand vaulted entrance hall with a striking feature window creates a welcoming first impression.
The ground floor includes a stylish cloakroom/WC and leads through double doors into the heart of the home — a spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room.
Featuring a central island, bi-fold doors to the south-facing rear garden, and a separate utility room, this space is perfectly designed for modern family living.
The generously sized sitting room, also accessed via double doors from the hallway, includes its own bi-fold doors to the garden — ideal for both entertaining and relaxing.
A second reception room offers versatile use as a home office, playroom, or formal dining area.
Upstairs, the airy landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with climate control for year-round comfort.
Two bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the luxurious four-piece family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
The principal bedroom is a standout feature — dual-aspect windows offer far-reaching views, while ample fitted wardrobes and space for additional furnishings complete the picture.
This beautifully crafted home is offered chain-free, and finished to a high specification throughout, with natural materials and a calming, contemporary design that creates a true sense of retreat.
