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.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, beautifully combining everyday family living with a welcoming space for entertaining.
Sage cabinetry, marble-effect worktops and a central island with pendant lighting create a sophisticated finish, complemented by an aga beneath a brick archway and double ceramic sink with swan neck tap.
Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and Neff oven with four-ring hob and extractor above.
Beyond the kitchen, the generous breakfast room enjoys a roof lantern, French doors and a pleasant outlook across the gardens.
