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
Situated on Woodland Drive, one of the premier roads within Watford's highly sought-after Cassiobury Estate, this impressive four bedroom detached family home offers generous, well-planned accommodation in an exceptional location.
The welcoming entrance hall features a useful storage cupboard and provides access to a formal front reception room, an integral garage with direct access to the driveway, and a contemporary shower room.
The rear of the home is centred around an expansive u-shaped open-plan living space, incorporating a family seating area, dining area, second lounge and a modern integrated kitchen, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which feature fitted wardrobes.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while a contemporary three-piece family bathroom and an airing cupboard complete the accommodation.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and features a detached garden office, providing an excellent space for home working or hobbies.
Additional highlights include wood flooring throughout much of the ground floor, with four skylights filling the rear reception space with light.
Woodland Drive is ideally positioned within the Cassiobury Estate, just a short walk from both Watford Junction and Watford Metropolitan stations, with excellent road links via the M1, M25 and A41, making it particularly well suited to commuters.
The property is also within easy reach of the highly regarded Cassiobury Junior School, together with Watford Grammar School for Boys and Watford Grammar School for Girls.
