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 great opportunity to acquire a charming five bedroom semi-detached Victorian residence.
Sympathetically modernised under current ownership to retain ample original features, the recent renovations include a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two contemporary bathroom suites, new flooring to the entirety of the ground floor, brand new windows to the frontage, several additional window replacements, and many upgraded radiators.
Showcasing a wealth of period features, the extensive ground floor living accommodation briefly comprises a porch, inviting entrance hall, characterful lounge, sitting room, open plan kitchen diner, utility room, handy storeroom, and a modern family bathroom.
A unique, galleried landing gives access to a sizeable master bedroom, three further bedrooms, and a shower room, showcasing an oversized shower enclosure.
To the second floor resides a recently converted fifth bedroom, enjoying WC facilities. In addition, a basement poses a further conversion opportunity, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Outside sees a private laid to lawn rear garden, an easterly aspect patio area, and an abundance of well-established trees and planting.
Situated in a popular residential area to the West of Retford, 34 Cobwell Road boasts close proximity to the market town’s array of everyday amenities, recreational facilities, restaurants, and schools for all age groups, whilst benefitting from great accessibility to the A1.
Retford Oaks Academy, having most recently achieved a good Ofsted rating, is just a brief walk away, as is Retford Train Station on the East Coast Main Line, offering a direct line to London King’s Cross in less than 90 minutes at selected times.
