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
Adaptable and unique, this 5-bedroom detached house is ideally situated on the corner of Woodlands Road and Hough Green.
Boasting a pleasant south facing walled garden to the side, the property offers over 3000 square feet of accommodation across two floors.
Currently configured as a generous three double bedroom detached bungalow on the ground floor and a two-bedroom first-floor studio apartment, the ground level encompasses an expansive living room leading to an Orangery that overlooks the southerly facing side garden.
Additionally, there is a separate 23ft drawing room, an open-plan dining kitchen flooded with natural light from a ceiling lantern with extensive built in work units complemented with granite work surfaces, and a spacious utility to the rear.
Two en-suite shower rooms to bedroom one and two, and a third bedroom along with a main family bathroom, complete the ground floor, which features a large entrance porch providing private access to the first floor.
The stained glass windows lead to the first-floor "Dragons Den," currently generating a significant income through holiday lets.
Offering flexibility, this first-floor apartment could serve as an investment opportunity or as accommodation for older children or parents, with its substantial living space, two bedrooms, kitchenette, dining area, and bathroom.
The property also includes off-road parking, a single garage. The solar panels as well as generating electricity for own use provide an income from the Feed In Tariff.
This income in recent years has been sufficient to cover two thirds of the total cost of gas and electricity.
Outside, the property features a south facing side garden with a decked patio that provides a peaceful and private outdoor space.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is a single garage and off-road parking, ensuring convenient and secure parking options for residents and guests alike.
Woodlands Road is an ideal location, moments from a regular bus service to the City, close to a great range of shops, walking distance to Chester via the Grosvenor Bridge with superb walks over the Racecourse, ideal with those with pets or children with Westminster Park being a short walk away.
EPC Rating: B Garden South facing side garden with decked patio, quite private.
