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
A beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached Arts and Crafts-style Lodge House, occupying a private and established plot in a highly sought-after position close to the heart of Knutsford.
Summerfield is a particularly appealing home, combining the character and individuality of its original Arts and Crafts architecture with generous, flexible accommodation that has been thoughtfully extended and refurbished over the years.
The result is a light and spacious property of approximately 1,844 sq ft, with a layout that works equally well for family life, entertaining and those seeking a home with genuine character.
The accommodation is centred around a superb open-plan living/dining room, positioned to the rear and designed to make the most of the garden.
With its wood-burning stove, wood flooring, Velux rooflights and French doors opening directly onto the garden, this is a particularly impressive everyday living and entertaining space.
The adjoining breakfast kitchen provides a practical and sociable heart to the home, fitted with a Rangemaster cooker, integrated appliances and breakfast bar, while a separate utility room and downstairs WC add useful functionality.
There are two further reception rooms to the front of the property, both retaining attractive period features including open fireplaces, providing excellent flexibility as formal sitting room, snug, home office or studio space.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with dual-aspect windows, a feature fireplace and its own en-suite shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned, with useful fitted storage, and are served by a contemporary family shower room with underfloor heating.
Throughout the property, original features and period detailing sit comfortably alongside modern improvements, creating a home that feels both characterful and thoroughly practical.
Externally, Summerfield is approached through timber gates onto a York stone-flagged driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to the integral garage.
Mature hedging, established trees and extensive planting create an excellent degree of privacy and give the property a wonderfully mature setting.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging and timber fencing, with well-stocked borders, a feature pond and a number of attractive planting areas.
York stone-paved terraces surround the property, including a particularly useful terrace directly adjoining the living/dining room, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The integral garage provides useful additional storage and workshop space, with fitted cupboards, work surfaces, power and lighting. The location is a major attraction.
Thorneyholme Drive is ideally placed for access to Knutsford town centre, with its excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities, whilst local schooling and Knutsford railway station are also within easy reach.
The property is equally well positioned for the major road networks, providing convenient access towards Manchester, the wider Cheshire area and the Northwest.
Summerfield is a rare and individual home, offering an appealing combination of period character, generous accommodation, privacy and an enviable town-centre location.
