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
abbotFox Estate Agents are pleased to bring to market this spacious and well-presented five-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached home on Dereham Road in the popular Costessey (NR5) area.
The property has been thoughtfully updated over the past five years and is ready to move straight into.
Improvements include a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, updated bathrooms, new double glazing, replacement doors, radiators, flooring, and refreshed plasterwork, along with upgrades to the plumbing and electrics.
Inside, the ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall leading to a bright and comfortable lounge.
To the rear, there is a separate dining room that connects to the kitchen, creating a practical layout for both everyday living and entertaining.
A conservatory looks out onto the garden, while a pantry and internal access to the garage add further convenience. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms off the main landing.
The principal bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, and the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, making the layout suitable for families or those needing extra space for work or guests.
A key feature of the property is the self-contained annex, which has its own private entrance.
It offers a studio-style living area, kitchenette, and bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental use.
Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking for up to five vehicles, an integral garage, and a private, enclosed rear garden that’s well suited for relaxing or entertaining.
