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 impressive large, detached family house is nestled back from Carden Avenue in an elevated position, providing stunning and unobstructed views that are simply breathtaking.
While the property is accessed via a significant number of steps, which may be a consideration for some potential buyers, the panoramic views from the front garden make it a worthwhile trade-off.
The front garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a tranquil retreat, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while soaking in the serene atmosphere or unwinding with a glass of wine as you watch the sun set at the end of a long day.
Step inside, and you will be greeted by a modern hallway with room for buggies and muddy boots.
Leading you through to a large kitchen / dining room that showcases a beautiful finish and is equipped with state-of -the-art appliances, making it a dream for any home chef.
The kitchen flows seamlessly into a handy utility room, which offers additional storage and functionality.
Just beyond this, there is an extra room that is incredibly versatile - ideal for hobbies, crafts or even as a dedicated office space for those working from home.
This thoughtful layout ensures that every inch of the home is utilised to its fullest potential with the lounge thoughtfully situated to the front of the home, allowing you to take advantage of those views mentioned.
As you move upstairs you will find spacious bedrooms that are perfect for family living.
Bedroom 1 is particularly noteworthy, featuring an en-suite bathroom that adds a touch of elegance and convenience.
Each bedroom offers ample natural light and can easily accommodate various furniture arrangements, making them comfortable and inviting.
The rear garden is a lovely and very generous outdoor space, although it is slightly overlooked.
With a keen eye for planting along the back fence, this garden has the potential to become a lush sanctuary for relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
This property also boasts several outbuildings that are equipped with plumbing and electrics, making them ideal for conversion into an Airbnb or a small business venture.
Previously utilised as beauty rooms, these spaces are ready for new ideals and creativity.
With its combination of stunning views, modern amenities and versatile spaces, this home is truly a gem that deserves a closer look.
