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
Tucked away just off Newton Road on the quiet and sought-after Arlen Drive, this impressive three-bedroom detached home offers privacy, character, and exciting future potential.
Ideally positioned within easy reach of motorway links, well-regarded schools, and a variety of local shops and amenities, this home delivers the perfect blend of convenience and peaceful residential living.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property is brimming with extension potential (subject to planning), making it a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create their long-term dream home while adding serious value.
Upon arrival, the property benefits from a generous frontage with off-road parking and access to an integral garage.
Entry is via a secure porch, leading into a warm and inviting lounge, where a charming bow window allows natural light to pour in, enhancing the welcoming feel of the space.
To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is a real standout-stylish yet full of character.
Featuring exposed brickwork framing the inset sink, a breakfast bar for casual dining, and integrated appliances, it’s a space designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
The adjoining utility room adds practicality and flow, complete with access to a guest WC and internal entry to the garage.
Upstairs, the property offers two spacious double bedrooms, a well-proportioned single room, and a modern, well-finished bathroom complete with contemporary tiling, bath with overhead shower, W.C, and hand wash basin.
The rear garden provides a private and secluded outdoor retreat, with a patio area ideal for summer seating and entertaining, leading onto a generous lawn space.
Fully enclosed with fencing, it offers both privacy and security-perfect for families or those who enjoy outdoor living.
Properties in this tucked-away location, with this level of potential and presentation, rarely stay on the market for long. Early viewing is strongly advised.
