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.

A beautifully presented detached family house extending to approximately 2,462 sq ft, occupying a particularly sought-after position within the popular residential area of St Leonards.
Having been comprehensively refurbished and significantly enlarged by the current owners, the property now offers exceptionally well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, ideally suited to modern family living.
The property is offered for sale with no forward chain.
A spacious reception hall provides an impressive introduction to the house, where a bespoke oak and glazed staircase rises to a striking galleried landing above, creating a wonderful sense of light and space throughout the centre of the home.
Undoubtedly the focal point of the property is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, extending to almost 29 ft in length.
This impressive space has been designed with both entertaining and day-to-day living in mind, enjoying excellent natural light and direct access to the covered terrace and gardens beyond via bi-folding doors.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units beneath quartz work surfaces, complemented by integrated AEG appliances, a central island with induction hob and wine fridge.
A separate utility room provides additional storage and practical laundry space.
The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by two double bedrooms, one of which offers flexibility as a study or home office, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.
The first floor is arranged around an attractive galleried landing and comprises three further double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring in excess of 19 ft by 16 ft and benefiting from a stylish en suite shower room and useful eaves storage.
Two further generous double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, while extensive eaves storage is available throughout the first floor.
The property enjoys a peaceful setting within St Leonards, a highly regarded village approximately three miles west of the market town of Ringwood.
The area combines a strong sense of community with convenient access to a comprehensive range of amenities, including excellent schooling, shopping and healthcare facilities.
Communications are particularly good, with the nearby A31 providing access to Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton, together with connections to the M27 and M3 for Winchester and London.
The surrounding countryside, including the New Forest National Park and Moors Valley Country Park, provides outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and a wide range of outdoor pursuits.
Outside, the property is approached via a substantial paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and is predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature boundaries which afford a good degree of privacy.
A covered terrace extends across the rear elevation, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the year.
A detached garage provides additional parking and storage, whilst a separate insulated outbuilding extending to approximately 211 sq ft, with power and lighting connected, offers considerable versatility and would lend itself equally well to use as a home office, gymnasium, studio or garden room.
