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
This immaculately presented four-bedroom detached family home occupies a quiet cul-de-sac position just a short walk from Locks Heath Shopping Centre and offers beautifully appointed accommodation, ideal for modern family living.
The property has been significantly enhanced and benefits from a recently refitted en-suite shower room and family bathroom, both finished to a high standard.
At the heart of the home is an impressive 17ft kitchen/dining room, providing an excellent space for everyday living and entertaining, whilst a separate dining room and spacious living room with a contemporary media wall and feature fireplace offer further versatile reception space.
The welcoming entrance hall features attractive Karndean flooring and leads to a modern cloakroom and useful storage cupboard.
The stylish kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of units complemented by granite worktops, an integrated waste disposal unit and ample space for appliances.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which benefit from air conditioning.
The principal bedroom features fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Bedroom four is currently arranged as a dressing room with a range of fitted Hammonds furniture but could easily be utilised as a bedroom if required.
Outside, the property enjoys a generous plot with only two immediate neighbours, creating a wonderful sense of privacy.
The recently landscaped rear garden provides an attractive and secluded setting, featuring a porcelain patio ideal for outdoor dining, well-maintained lawn and established planted borders.
To the front, the substantial plot offers excellent parking and presents potential for extension or further development, subject to the necessary consents.
A double integrated garage completes the accommodation.
