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
Situated within a popular residential area of North Tawton, 1 Taw Vale Close is a modern semi-detached home offering more space than many similar properties thanks to its larger corner plot position.
North Tawton continues to be a popular small town for buyers wanting a good balance between countryside surroundings and day to day convenience.
There’s a strong community feel along with a range of amenities including a primary school, shops, pubs, doctor’s surgery, dentist, vets and sports clubs, while the larger towns of Okehampton and Crediton are both within easy reach.
The property itself is offered with no onward chain and would suit a wide range of buyers, from first time purchasers through to families or investors.
Inside, the accommodation is practical and well laid out.
The living room is a generous space with a woodburner creating a cosy focal point, while to the rear the kitchen/dining room provides a sociable everyday space with room for dining and doors out to the garden.
Off here is a particularly useful utility area along with a ground floor WC. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two comfortable doubles and a good single room, all served by the family bathroom.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Outside, the larger than average corner plot gives additional outdoor space compared to many nearby homes.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the entrance, while the enclosed rear garden offers a safe and manageable space for children, pets or sitting out in the warmer months.
To the rear is driveway parking for two vehicles leading to the garage.
It’s also worth noting that, subject to any necessary permissions, the layout could potentially be reconfigured to create parking at the front of the property instead, allowing the existing rear driveway area to be incorporated into and enlarge the rear garden.
Overall, this is a solid and well positioned home with plenty to offer, particularly for buyers wanting a bit more outside space while remaining close to the town’s amenities.
