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
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Old Marston, this well-presented four-bedroom detached home, constructed in 2014, offers balanced, thoughtfully arranged accommodation suited to modern family living.
The ground floor provides two comfortable reception rooms, with the living room benefiting from a log burner, large patio doors opening onto the rear garden, and bespoke shelving.
The well-proportioned kitchen/dining room is an inviting, light-filled space.
Throughout the house, rooms are generously sized and benefit from excellent natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
The ground floor is completed by a utility room and a WC, and benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
Upstairs, the property comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged to provide both practicality and privacy for family and guests alike. Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms.
Additionally, the primary bedroom benefits from a walk-in closet. Externally, the house is set back with off-street parking for one vehicle in addition to a single garage.
To the rear, there is a rear garden with private side access on both sides from the front of the property. Old Marston lies within the ring road but has kept its village identity.
Situated equidistant between Headington and Summertown, it enjoys regular bus services to and from the city centre.
The village has two pubs, The Red Lion and the Victoria Arms, known to many from appearances in the Morse series, a 13th-century church and easy access to the ring road, A34 and A/M40.
Convenient for all the Headington hospitals and numerous private and state schools, including The Swan School, The Cherwell School, Headington School, The Dragon, Oxford High School, St Edwards and Magdalen College.
Additionally, there is an excellent cycle route to the city centre, taking approximately 15 minutes, and the Headington hospitals are also a short cycle away.
