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
With no upward chain, this property is a charming, well-sized semi-detached house which is located in a highly sought-after area of the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
The home is heated by gas central heating and has a comfortable, practical layout that is ready for a new owner to tailor to their tastes and modern living needs.
The accommodation is generously proportioned, offering four large double bedrooms that cater perfectly to family life, providing space for guests, a home office or a nursery.
The ground floor features a spacious lounge diner with a log burner that creates a cosy atmosphere.
There is also a newly fitted kitchen which has a built-in double oven, washing machine and dishwasher as well as a 5 ring gas hob.
There is a breakfast bar at the end of the kitchen, making it the perfect space for entertaining and discussing the day's events whilst cooking.
Off the kitchen is a room that could become an ideal utility room or downstairs toilet. The house also has a cellar, which is handy for storage.
On the first floor, there is a toilet off the stairway and a Jack and Jill bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath, corner shower, sink and toilet. This is an impressive space.
The main bedroom is also on this floor and is a huge space due to running the whole width of the house and over the alleyway. With two windows, this is a bright and airy room.
On the second floor, there are three further double bedrooms and a toilet.
The house has a small courtyard garden at the back, ideal for anyone wanting low maintenance and ease when it comes to the garden. It also has handy access down the alleyway to put out the bins.
Situated on South Street, it offers unrivalled convenience, placing residents within a short, pleasant walk of Ashby's vibrant town centre, including Market Street with its array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The property is also ideally positioned for access to local schools and benefits from excellent commuter links via the nearby A42, making it a highly attractive prospect for both local families and commuters.
Whilst it doesn't have its own drive, it does have two parking permits included to allow the residents to park on South Street.
Whilst the property is well-maintained and immediately habitable, with the majority of the ground floor being recently renovated, it offers fantastic scope for modern cosmetic updating on the upper floors, allowing the buyer to easily enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the long-term value of the investment.
