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
Set in the heart of South Knighton, this late-Victorian link-detached five-bedroom home presents a quietly confident red-brick façade, elegantly detailed with stone lintels and a deep canted bay.
The balanced streetscape is enriched by its restrained palette and carefully preserved original features.
A broad ground-floor bay window with multi-pane glazing sits beneath a subtle timber cornice, while tall sash windows above create pleasing verticality.
The entrance, set slightly to one side, is framed by a modest porch in a deep, muted tone that complements the brickwork.
Ornament is used sparingly, allowing material quality and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.
A small forecourt garden softens the approach, with the rare addition of a driveway providing off-road parking.
Inside, the generous entrance hall features original Minton tiles that set a warm, characterful tone.
To the front lies a bright reception room with a focal log-burning fireplace, soaring ceilings, and elegant sash windows.
A second reception room, painted in soft off-grey, opens onto the expansive rear garden through a large sash window.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully conceived open-plan living, dining and kitchen space.
Bold blue cabinetry contrasts warmly with oak and granite surfaces, while light floods in from trio-aspect windows and generous Velux skylights.
The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances, including a Smeg oven, and features a stylish island beneath pendant lighting. Raised arch windows frame uninterrupted views across the garden.
On the first floor, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a sleek, contemporary three-piece family bathroom in a refined dusty-blue palette.
The principal double bedroom enjoys sash windows overlooking Knighton Church Road, while the second double offers peaceful garden views with fitted wardrobes.
Two versatile single rooms provide flexible space for a study or dressing room.
Above, a meticulously executed loft conversion adds a fifth generous double bedroom with its own private en-suite, oak flooring, and skyline views over South Knighton.
Outside, the extensive south-facing rear garden is a private haven, largely laid to lawn with a raised terrace ideal for entertaining.
Two brick outbuildings and a large summerhouse provide excellent storage and potential, bordered by mature planting for seclusion and scope for future extension (subject to consents).
