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
Set in the popular village of Wilstead and occupying a fine plot, this rarely available four-bedroom detached family home has been considerably improved by the current owner.
Offering a flexible and versatile layout and a beautiful, large private rear garden, this is the ideal opportunity for those looking to acquire a substantial home in a sought-after location.
As you enter the property, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall.
To the right-hand side, there is a large bay-fronted living room with a feature fireplace and connecting doors to the dining room.
Here, bi-folding doors create a perfect entertainment space allowing for easy indoor-outdoor living.
The current owners extended in 2014 to create a substantial family room with underfloor heating, Velux windows, a vaulted ceiling and attractive views over the rear garden.
The fitted kitchen has space for a breakfast table and provides access to the utility room. A large study and further utility/laundry room have also been added, creating a generous downstairs layout.
On the first floor, the master bedroom has an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobes and are served by a family bathroom.
Additional benefits include a ground floor cloakroom, gas central heating, and double glazing. The rear garden is a real highlight, offering a private space that is predominately laid to lawn.
It features a range of mature trees, shrubs, and plants, and benefits from a patio area.
To the front of the property, there is a generous shared driveway which provides ample parking and leads to a double-width garage with an electric up-and-over door.
The double garage has internal access to the house and attached workshop/store room.
Wilstead is a popular village located within easy reach of the A6 and Bedford’s Southern bypass for access to the A1 and M1.
It is also a short drive away from Bedford’s town centre and the facilities it offers, which include the mainline railway station offering fast and frequent services to the capital.
Wilstead itself offers various facilities of its own to include a Primary School, takeaways, two public houses, a pharmacy and two churches.
The village hall and Jubilee Hall offer plenty of opportunity for recreation and socialising, with clubs and activities for all ages, including the bowls club, gardening club, walking club and much more.
