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
Positioned in the highly sought-after heart of Clarendon Park, this period bay-fronted terraced home presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a property.
Situated within easy reach of the vibrant shops and cafes on Queens Road, Leicester University, and Victoria Park, the location is ideal for families, professionals, and investors alike.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming foregarden frontage.
Inside, you are greeted by two well-proportioned reception rooms; the front room features a characterful bay window, picture rails, and stained wooden flooring, while the second reception room offers useful under-stairs storage and leads through to the kitchen.
Completing the ground floor is a practical bathroom suite and access to the rear yard.
Upstairs, the property offers two spacious double bedrooms-both retaining traditional period details and built-in storage-along with a versatile separate box room, perfect for a home office, nursery, or dressing room.
Outside, the property benefits from a low-maintenance, cleared rear patio garden offering a private space to relax.
While the home requires some cosmetic updating and modernization, it features gas central heating and retains classic period charm throughout.
