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
Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer within this beautifully upgraded and highly versatile home, situated within a pleasant cul-de-sac setting in Ushaw Moor.
Originally constructed as a three-bedroom property with an integral garage, the current owners have thoughtfully converted the garage to create a substantial ground floor bedroom complete with en-suite shower room.
This flexible space could equally serve as an additional reception room, home office or guest suite depending on the requirements of the new owner.
The accommodation is accessed via an entrance hallway with useful under-stairs storage cupboard. Double doors lead into a spacious lounge, creating an inviting space for relaxation.
To the rear, the impressive kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home.
Fitted with a range of modern gloss-fronted units, the kitchen incorporates a four-ring gas hob with extractor hood, fan-assisted oven, microwave/combi oven, integrated fridge/freezer and twin Belfast sinks.
French doors open onto the rear garden and take full advantage of the stunning westerly views across the valley beyond.
A separate utility room provides additional practicality and offers access to the rear garden.
The first floor accommodation houses two well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary family shower room.
The shower room is fully tiled and fitted with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.
The rear double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and enjoys far-reaching views across the valley whilst the front facing double has been opened into the original third bedroom to create a dressing room space.
This could easily be converted back to create a fourth bedroom if required. Externally, the property continues to impress.
To the front, a generous driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
The rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and enjoys a desirable westerly aspect, making it the perfect space to enjoy afternoon and evening sunshine while taking in the open outlook.
The property is offered on a freehold basis and would make an ideal purchase for families, professionals or those seeking flexible living accommodation.
Ushaw Moor village centre is within easy reach and offers a range of everyday amenities, while regular bus services provide convenient access to Durham City.
Excellent road links are also available nearby, making the property well placed for commuters.
