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.

The ensuite bathroom is also generous and features a bath, sink, toilet and separate shower cubicle.
Externally the property is also immaculately presented with a small front garden which is paved and features some shrubs.
The rear garden features paving providing a perfect place for eating "Al Fresco" in the warmer month. There is an external plug and tap, which could be used for a hot tub.
