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 immediately impressive sandstone semi-detached villa, occupying a prominent position on Mansionhouse Road, one of Paisley's most admired and established residential addresses.
With substantial accommodation arranged over three levels, this is a home of genuine character, scale and versatility, offering an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to create their forever home.
From the moment you step through the original stained-glass entrance doors, the property makes an impressive first impression.
A broad reception hallway sets the tone, with beautiful period detailing including ornate cornicing, decorative plasterwork and traditional panelled doors.
These original features continue throughout the property, creating a wonderful sense of history and character.
The principal lounge is an elegant and generously proportioned room positioned to the front of the property.
A deep bay window floods the room with natural light, while the original fireplace and timber surround provide a superb focal point.
Beautiful parquet flooring surrounds a central carpeted area, creating a warm and inviting space that works equally well for relaxing or entertaining.
Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile sitting room with dual-aspect windows, a further fireplace and pleasant outlooks towards the rear garden.
This flexible room could be used as a second reception space, home office, family room or snug depending on the needs of the next owner.
The dining room sits conveniently off the kitchen and provides an excellent setting for family meals and entertaining.
Of particular interest are some of the original bells retained within the room, a charming reminder of the property's historic past.
To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of units and everyday appliances, with views and access towards the garden.
The staircase rises to the half landing where the traditional arrangement continues with a family bathroom and separate WC.
A double bedroom is also located on this level, enjoying an outlook over the rear garden and providing excellent flexibility for family living or guests.
The upper landing leads to three further impressive double bedrooms. Bedroom two is a particularly bright and spacious room with dual-aspect windows and views towards the garden.
Bedroom one is a superb principal bedroom, featuring a deep bay window and original fireplace.
This room would historically have formed part of the principal public accommodation within the house and, as a result, benefits from particularly impressive period detailing and proportions.
A major feature of the property is the extensive basement level, adding an exceptional amount of useful and flexible space.
This includes a further public room, utility room, gardeners' WC and substantial storage areas.
The basement offers huge potential for a range of uses, subject to any necessary consents, and further enhances the versatility of this already substantial home.
Outside, the rear garden is mature, private and well established, with a combination of lawn, patio and decking areas surrounded by mature plants, shrubs and trees.
It provides a lovely setting for outdoor entertaining and family life, while the established planting adds colour, privacy and character.
The property also benefits from a private driveway and detached garage, providing valuable off-street parking and additional storage.
