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 beautifully extended 1930s semi-detached family home, occupying a prime position along one of Westbury-on-Trym’s most sought-after roads and offering generous, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors.
The property is set back from Canford Lane behind a private driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles.
Entry is via the front door into a welcoming central hallway, where parquet flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor immediately create a sense of character and warmth.
Positioned to the front of the property, the principal reception room enjoys a bay window overlooking the driveway and tree-lined street beyond.
A feature fireplace forms an attractive focal point, creating a comfortable and well-proportioned living space. Beneath the stairs is a conveniently positioned WC.
Continuing through the ground floor, a versatile breakfast room or study sits to the side, benefiting from a window overlooking the area in front of the garage and incorporating built-in storage.
This space flows seamlessly into the impressive rear extension, forming the heart of the home. To the rear, a superb open-plan dining and family living area spans the width of the property.
Enjoying a south-easterly aspect, the space is flooded with natural light via two sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden.
A defined snug area within this open-plan arrangement provides a cosy seating space with built-in storage and a pleasant outlook across the garden. Amtico flooring runs throughout these areas.
The kitchen opens broadly from the dining space and is thoughtfully designed around a substantial central island.

Predominantly laid to lawn, it features a central pathway, a decked seating terrace immediately adjoining the house, a gravelled area towards the rear, and a substantial shed set on proper foundations, offering excellent storage.
To the first floor, a central landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear, and benefiting from extensive built-in storage and a modern en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC.
