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
An exceptional, architect-designed four-bedroom detached residence, positioned in a truly enviable riverside setting with uninterrupted views across the River Soar towards the Charnwood Hills.
This striking home further benefits from garden-edge mooring rights and a thoughtfully curated interior that balances architectural finesse with everyday practicality.
The cedar-clad and glazed frontage immediately signals the contemporary design ethos within.
Upon entering, the hallway is flooded with light, with a sleek glass wall drawing the eye through to a stunning front-facing home office.
This tranquil workspace enjoys uninterrupted river views, creating an inspiring environment for home working.
To the left, a discreet pocket door opens into the heart of the home; an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed for both entertaining and relaxed family living.
The ECF fitted kitchen features refined cabinetry, integrated appliances including a double oven, microwave, induction hob, and dishwasher as well as integrated bins.
There is space for an American-style fridge freezer and a pantry cupboard.
Large triple sliding doors spanning the rear elevation, combined with strategically placed Velux windows, bathe the space in natural light and provide seamless access to the landscaped garden, with ample room for a large dining table.
The living room leads naturally from the kitchen, offering a more intimate retreat centred around a log-effect electric fire, while still enjoying river-facing views, ideal for cosy evenings in cooler months.
The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed utility room with storage, space for two laundry appliances and direct access to the rear garden.
Opposite, a beautiful, fully glazed room to the front serves as a home gym but offers excellent flexibility for alternative uses. This area is complemented by a stylish ground-floor WC.
Upstairs, a light-filled landing framed by a large garden-facing window leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a full-height glazed gable with bi-fold doors opening to a glass Juliet balcony, integrated remote-controlled blinds, and breath-taking river views.
The accompanying en-suite is finished in a striking black-and-white palette with a vanity unit and walk-in shower.
The remaining three bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, again finished in black and white, with twin sinks, vanity unit and quality fittings.
The loft is boarded for storage with a fitted ladder for easy access.
Externally, the landscaped rear garden has been carefully designed to provide multiple seating and dining areas, including two decked terraces, a patio and a mature tree, ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
To the front, the property offers driveway parking for two vehicles. The defining feature of this remarkable home is undoubtedly its garden-edge mooring rights.
A lawned frontage leads gently down to the River Soar, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks by the water’s edge, accompanied by the soothing sound of the nearby weir as the sun rises and sets.
A distinctive riverside home of architectural quality, combining lifestyle, location and design in equal measure.
