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
Tenure: Leasehold A versatile three-storey semi-detached townhouse in Copplestone, offering flexible accommodation that can adapt to changing needs, from family living and home working to multi-generational arrangements.
The property has been thoughtfully laid out over three floors, with a number of rooms that can be used in different ways depending on requirements.
The current arrangement provides generous living space alongside the potential to create up to five bedrooms if desired.
The ground floor forms the practical hub of the home, with an entrance hall leading to a downstairs WC and useful under-stairs storage.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is well equipped with a range of units, space for an American-style fridge freezer, Neff oven and four-ring induction hob.
There is plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, while patio doors open onto the enclosed terrace, bringing a strong connection between the kitchen and outside space.
A large reception room on this floor is currently used as a dining room but could equally work well as a lounge, playroom or additional living space.
The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted double wardrobes and a recently updated ensuite shower room with a vanity unit and modern white suite.
A further large reception room is currently used as the lounge but provides excellent flexibility, with potential to become another bedroom, office or playroom depending on lifestyle needs.
The top floor provides three further bedrooms, including a large single, a double and a very large bedroom with access to a recently fitted Jack and Jill style bathroom.
There is also useful storage on the landing, including a fitted wardrobe and airing cupboard, along with access to the modern Worcester gas central heating boiler.
Outside, the enclosed patio terrace provides an easy-to-maintain outdoor area, suitable for seating, entertaining and secure use by pets or children.
Parking is provided via the driveway, leading to a former carport which has been adapted by the current owners to create a secure storage area while retaining parking space in front.
A large garden shed provides further storage. The property benefits from mains water, mains drainage and gas central heating. Overall, this is a home where flexibility is the key feature.
The combination of multiple reception spaces, adaptable bedrooms and practical outside areas makes it a property that can evolve with its owners, whether that means accommodating a growing family, working from home or creating separate areas for different generations.
