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
Fox Road presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well proportioned, extended semi detached family home with no onward chain.
Internally, the property offers a flexible layout including a sitting room / family room, a spacious lounge / dining room, and an extended kitchen to the rear.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, served by a bathroom and a separate cloakroom, and a converted attic room provides useful additional space - ideal for hobbies, study or occasional guest use.
Outside, the property benefits from a private driveway, car port, and gardens enjoying privacy, including an enclosed rear garden with fish pond and fruit trees and a garden / studio room which could suit a home office, workshop or retreat.
Situated in the established and desirable Beacon Heath / Whipton area, residents will find a good mix of local amenities within easy reach.
Within about half a mile there are convenience stores (such as Spar and Coleys) and small local shops.
Supermarkets such as Morrisons (Prince Charles Road) and Sainsbury's (Pinhoe Road) are also nearby.
For schooling, the area is well served: Willowbrook School is approximately 0.3 miles away, Whipton Barton Infants & Nursery and Whipton Barton Juniors about 0.7 miles, and Pinhoe C of E Primary about 0.9 miles.
Secondary education options include St James School (very close by), St Luke's C of E School, and St Peter's C of E Aided School.
Commuting and connectivity are strong: there are numerous local bus stops on nearby roads (e.g. Chancellors Way, Arena Park) giving good links across Exeter.
Rail connections are readily accessible too, with Polsloe Bridge, Pinhoe, St James Park and Exeter Central stations all within a short distance.
Lastly, Exeter's city centre, as well as its broad range of shops, leisure and cultural facilities, are conveniently reachable.
Fox Road offers a rare combination of substantial, adaptable accommodation, outdoor privacy, off road parking, and excellent local access - ideal for growing families, professionals working from home or those looking to add value.
