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 beautifully presented detached house forming part of a recently completed development, offering well-proportioned, balanced accommodation ideally suited to modern family living.
Completed in 2023, the house offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, is presented in excellent order throughout and continues to benefit from the remainder of its build warranty.
A central hallway provides a welcoming first impression, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to a downstairs cloakroom.
The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, a well-designed and sociable space fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry and integrated appliances, including oven, fridge freezer and wine fridge, with ample room for both dining and everyday living.
The sitting room is a well-proportioned space with bespoke fitted cabinetry and wide glazed doors opening directly onto the garden, drawing in plenty of natural light.
To the front, the study is currently used as a workspace but could easily serve as a playroom or additional family room.
Upstairs, four genuine double bedrooms are arranged off a central landing, a key strength of the house.
Two benefit from fitted wardrobes, including the principal bedroom, which also features an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside: The house occupies a particularly well-positioned plot at the edge of the development, enjoying a more open outlook and a greater sense of privacy than many surrounding homes.
To the side of the house, a block-paved driveway provides off-street parking, complemented by an additional space to the front, allowing for parking for up to three vehicles.
The rear garden is level and well enclosed, designed for ease of maintenance, with a paved terrace directly off the house, a further patio to the rear suited to entertaining, and the remainder laid to lawn.
Situation: The property is conveniently positioned for a range of local amenities, schools and transport links.

Local shops and everyday amenities are available on Caterham on the Hill, with a wider range of high street shopping and supermarkets in Caterham Valley, approximately 1.4 miles distant.
The area is also well positioned for access to open countryside.
