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 fine family home that has been improved during our clients ownership. It offers high quality accommodation and needs to be viewed internally to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.
The accommodation is laid out in a traditional manner but in brief is made up of an entrance hallway with under stairs store cupboard, a living room with feature bay window that opens into the open plan kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen is presented in high gloss beige with wooden worktops and integrated appliances including dishwasher and induction hob with suction extraction, fridge freezer and oven.
It also features a handy breakfast bar. There is a downstairs Wc/cloak room and utility space located just off the kitchen.
Our clients have converted the garage into another internal room - they currently use this room as a bedroom however it could also be a great office space, playroom or indeed dedicated dining space.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms - two of which boast ensuite shower rooms - ideal for the modern family. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes installed.
A family bathroom completes the accommodation and is made up of a suite in white featuring a bath, toilet and sink.
Externally the house features a block paved driveway which would easily accommodate three cars, whilst the rear garden is set up with family life in mind with a patio area, a section that has been decked providing a great place to eat out in warmer months as well as a grassed section that would be great for small children and pets.
there is also a wooden shed for storing garden equipment. West Park is a small development of just 24 houses, built around 2006.
It is well placed on the outskirts of Shildon and as such benefits from having excellent transport links.
