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 opportunity to acquire a townhouse within this highly regarded group of homes. Our clients purchased the property from new in 1977 and have stayed in residence ever since.
This lengthy ownership perfectly illustrates the superb immediate environment and convenience to nearby amenities.
In recent years, Heaton has truly embraced café culture with a number of independent establishments serving the area.
You will note on the drone imagery that the property is positioned to the fringes of Doffcocker Lodge and the home enjoys a lovely private aspect over surrounding trees and shrubs.
To the rear there is an enclosed garden together with a driveway and garage.
The garage is one of just two units within this immediate group to have the benefit of a pitched roof, which, is not only better in terms of maintenance but also provides additional storage.
Please note that the shower room is of an impressive modern design and there has been a subtle extension to the rear.
The layout would be suited to the creation of open plan living if desired, and is currently a lounge through dining room style, with separate kitchen.
We would expect strong interest given the scarcity of availability properties within this immediate area.
