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.

This attractive 1930s Nash-built semi-detached home offers a wonderful setting for family life, with excellent schooling close by and the convenience of the Quadrant Shopping Precinct just a short walk away for morning coffees, easy dinners and everyday essentials.
Inside, the home has a natural flow that suits both relaxed living and hosting.
The welcoming hallway leads through to a bright open-plan living and dining space, perfect for family time or entertaining friends.
To the rear, the extended kitchen creates a sociable hub of the home, with the conservatory beyond bringing in plenty of natural light and offering a lovely outlook onto the garden.
The ground floor also benefits from a separate study, ideal for working from home or quiet reading time, along with a practical shower room.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, giving flexibility for growing families.
The top floor adds two further bedrooms, providing great options for older children, guests or additional workspace, along with useful storage. Outside is where this home really comes into its own.
The generous rear garden is perfect for summer gatherings, with a patio for dining, a large lawn for children to enjoy, and a summer house tucked away at the rear.
To the front, there is a driveway providing ample off-street parking.
With scope to extend further, subject to planning, this is a home that can grow with you, all set within a friendly, well-connected neighbourhood.
