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.

From the ground floor the clever accommodation steps up to the bedrooms on the first floor and then downstairs to the kitchen which goes straight out to the garden.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, with one en suite and a family bathroom.
The ground floor has an additional bedroom, cloak room and sitting room which overlooks the rear garden, there is also a good sized front garden which is laid to lawn and also has the potential to create a new driveway subject to planning.
On the lower ground floor there is a well-appointed kitchen which opens onto the garden, a separate utility room with WC and family room.
Outside Attractively approached through a timber picket fence to the front boundary, a stone flagged pathway leads up to the covered front porch, flanked on two sides by the lawned garden, with mature planting, shrubs, and trees providing a pleasant and colourful aspect.
The garden at the rear of the property enjoys a sheltered and private aspect, where immediately adjoining the house is a paved terrace perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining.
Beyond the paved terrace the main rear garden is conveniently laid to lawn whilst attractively flanked by timber fencing and a further stone flagged pathway leading to both the timber shed in the bottom corner of the garden, and also tall legged and braced timber gate which affords pedestrian access out to the garaging / parking area.
