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
At the heart of a peaceful cul-de-sac on one of Newton Mearns' most enduringly popular residential streets, this extended four bedroom family home sits within mature gardens that bloom with colour through the seasons.
A double monoblock driveway and garage make arriving home easy, whether it's the school run or a weekly shop.
Step inside and a wide entrance hall sets a welcoming tone, leading to most of the ground floor accommodation.
Overlooking the front, the lounge is centred around a stone built fireplace, a natural gathering point on cooler evenings, and flows through to the dining room.
Beyond the dining room lies a wonderful extension with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and integrated skylights. Previously used as an art studio, it is easy to see why.
Light pours in from above and through a long bank of windows along one wall, making it a beautiful space for creative pursuits, a garden room, or simply somewhere to read with the sun on your shoulders.
Reached from both the dining room and the hallway, the kitchen is well proportioned, with a good mix of Shaker style wall and base units in a warm beech finish, set against dark laminate worktops.
A modern AEG oven, hob and extractor hood sit alongside an integrated fridge freezer, and a door opens straight out to the rear garden.
A large understairs storage cupboard is ideal for housing larger household appliances.
Back in the hallway, a generous WC sits beneath the stairs, and beyond the staircase is the fourth bedroom, currently enjoyed as a second lounge.
Patio doors frame gorgeous views of greenery and colour, opening onto a raised patio that makes a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening drinks as the garden settles.
Upstairs, three double bedrooms are complemented by plenty of storage cupboards and a family bathroom fitted with a white two piece suite and shower over the bath.
Storage has been well considered throughout, with space within the eaves, a loft hatch with pull down ladder in bedroom three, and a large half height basement beneath the extension, accessed via a white timber door from the garden.
Outside, the rear garden is a joy to look at. Rich pink hydrangeas line the path with lawn to either side, mature planting brings colour and structure, and the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine.
A new timber shed sits to the side, and the garden can be reached from the garage, the kitchen and a path at the side of the home.
Completing the picture, the home sits within the highly regarded catchment for Kirkhill Primary, St Clare's Primary and Mearns Castle High School.
