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
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of Grimsby’s most handsome and imposing period homes, standing within large mature gardens in a highly convenient position close to the town centre, local amenities and established residential surroundings.
2 Abbey Park Road is a substantial detached residence of real architectural presence, offering extensive accommodation arranged over two floors and retaining a wealth of charm, character and original detail.
The property is locally designated within the Wellow Conservation Area and is included on the Local List of Historic Assets of Special Interest, reflecting its architectural and historic importance within this established part of Grimsby.
The house retains many attractive original features, including timber single-glazed sash windows, high skirting boards, deep plaster covings, picture rails, elegant room proportions and a wealth of period detailing throughout.
It is a property with genuine presence and individuality, and once restored, has the potential to become a truly exceptional family home.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch, entrance hall, living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, rear entrance lobby, ground floor w.c., second w.c.
and a spacious study. To the first floor there are five bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, together with a storage room, family bathroom and separate w.c.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with large mature gardens, established boundaries and a prominent setting.
The scale of the site may offer potential for redevelopment, extension or alternative use, subject to all necessary planning permissions, conservation area requirements and statutory consents.
Prospective purchasers should note that no planning permission has been applied for in respect of the rear garden land, and any future development potential must be independently verified by the purchaser.
The property requires extensive refurbishment and repair.
There are known structural, drainage and tree/root-related issues, and a comprehensive technical information pack is available to interested parties.
Indicative quotations have been obtained in relation to certain remedial works, including demolition of the dilapidated conservatory, foundation-related remedial works, crack repairs, drainage repairs and tree/root management.
These quotations are provided for guidance only, and prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves fully as to the condition of the property, the full extent of works required, the adequacy of any quotations and the availability of any necessary consents.
Due to the nature of the reported defects and the extent of refurbishment required, the property may not be suitable for mortgage purposes.
It is therefore likely to appeal particularly to cash purchasers, builders, developers, investors or those seeking a substantial restoration project.
Notwithstanding the works required, this is a truly special home.
Its scale, setting, character, history and architectural quality make it an outstanding opportunity for the right buyer to restore a beautiful period residence and create a magnificent family home, or to explore the wider potential of the site, subject to consent.
