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
The accommodation begins with an entrance hall providing access to the ground-floor WC, lounge and kitchen, with stairs rising to the first floor.
The lounge is a comfortable living space centred around a gas fire, with an archway opening naturally into the dining area.
From here, sliding doors lead through to the conservatory, creating an easy flow between the main living spaces and providing an additional room overlooking the rear garden.
French doors open directly from the conservatory onto the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by laminate worktops and includes a gas hob, electric double oven and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer.
There is also useful access to an under stairs storage cupboard and through into the separate utility room.
The utility room provides further wall and base units, additional worktop space, a sink and room for multiple appliances.
Doors from here lead out to the rear garden and into the integral garage, making it particularly practical for day-to-day family living.
Upstairs, the landing gives access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower, low-level WC and wash hand basin.
There are three further bedrooms, offering plenty of flexibility for children, guests or those needing a home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, low-level WC and wash hand basin.
Outside, the property has a lawned front garden alongside a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking and access to the garage.
The garage itself has an up-and-over door to the front and internal access through to the utility room.
To the rear is an enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn and with gated access around the side of the property.
A paved pathway links the house and conservatory, while a block-paved seating area towards the rear of the garden provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Further benefits include gas central heating, an alarm system, freehold tenure and the considerable advantage of being offered with no upward chain.
The property enjoys a tucked-away position at the end of a residential cul-de-sac in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
The town centre offers a broad mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, alongside larger supermarkets and retail facilities.
Ashby is also well placed for commuters, with the nearby A42 providing routes north towards the M1 and south towards the M42 and M6, while the A511 gives convenient connections towards Coalville and Burton upon Trent.
Overall, this is a well-proportioned detached family home offering four bedrooms, three versatile living areas, an en-suite, garage, driveway parking and a private rear garden, all combined with a cul-de-sac setting and no upward chain.
