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 Mount Built in the characterful ‘Tudor Revival’ style in graceful white brick with painted tone dressings, exposed limestone ecorative features and slate roofs, Daresbury and Beech Villa are an exceptional detached period property.
With mullioned bay windows, high ceilings and that unmistakeable aura of quality and class Daresbury and Beech Villa come with the opportunity for its new owners to make the interiors truly their own.
The refurbishment of Daresbury and Beech Villa includes comprehensive external works, featuring a complete re-roofing, new second-floor dormer windows, and the refurbishment or replacement of all remaining windows and external doors.
The original stonework will be professionally chemically cleaned and repointed to restore the façade’s character.
Additionally, the project includes the construction of new garages and a rear extension.
These extensive structural and external improvements provide the buyer with a rare, high-quality blank canvas to build their own home.
This allows full scope to customise final fit-out and interior design to personal taste and specifications.
The Mount lies to the south-west of York city centre, just before the Knavesmire, part of York Racecourse.
These 250 acres of open grassland are open to the publicon non-race days for walking, running, dog-walking and enjoying nature.

From here, over the Ouse Bridge, it’s straight into the historic heart of the city centre.
To the left is The Shambles with York Minister behind, to the right the yorvik Viking Centre, Clifford’s Tower and York Castle Museum.
The property is also a pleasant walk from the fashionable Bishopthorpe Road which has an abundance of independent eateries, shops and bars.
