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
This beautifully presented and thoughtfully modernised semi-detached Victorian house offers a perfect blend of period charm and contemporary living.
With three bedrooms and a versatile garden room/office, this property provides a fantastic space for both relaxation and work.
The heart of the home is a superbly extended kitchen/breakfast room, while a spacious bathroom/WC ensures comfort throughout.
Located in a peaceful backwater in the centre of Strensall village, this home is ideally placed for easy access to local amenities.
The property is set back behind a neat block-paved driveway, providing off-street parking. Upon entering, you are welcomed into an inviting hallway that leads to the central dining room.
This room features elegant fitted cupboards, shelving, a panelled wall with mood lighting, and stylish herringbone-patterned Karndean flooring, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room.
A generous opening leads into the lounge, which enjoys natural light through a sash bay window to the front, along with a painted fireplace and corniced ceiling, adding character and warmth.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight, having been extended to create a light-filled space enhanced by a part-vaulted ceiling with three large Velux skylights.
A part-glazed door opens directly onto the garden. The room’s original character has been thoughtfully preserved with a wood-clad beam and exposed brick wall.
The kitchen itself features an extensive range of wall and base units with wood-effect worktops, tiled splashbacks, space for a small range cooker with an extractor hood over, and spaces for a slimline dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer.
Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms, each with stripped floorboards, charming cast-iron fireplaces, and period-style radiators.
The bathroom/WC is generously sized, offering both a bath and a large walk-in shower, along with a fitted cupboard for additional storage.
A staircase leads to the loft-conversion third bedroom, which benefits from two Velux skylights and a large storage cupboard.
The property is equipped with gas central heating, double glazing, and holds an energy performance rating (EPC) of D.
The rear garden offers a tranquil retreat, featuring a well-maintained patio, an expansive lawn, planted border, and a gravel pathway leading to a modern anthracite-coloured garden room/office.
This space, complete with bi-folding doors, power, and a store cupboard, is ideal for working from home or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Southfields Road is conveniently located close to the amenities of Strensall village, just 5.9 miles north of York’s city walls.
The property is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Huntington Secondary School, with courtesy buses available for students.
Strensall Common, offering miles of scenic walks and home to the York Golf Club, is also nearby, making this an ideal location for both family living and outdoor enthusiasts.
