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
An attractive Victorian cottage situated on one of the Conservation Area’s most desirable streets, offering a wonderful opportunity to update and modernise to your own personal taste and standard.
The property further benefits from a fabulous, mature 100ft west-facing rear garden and is offered with no onward chain.
The accommodation begins via a part-glazed front door, opening into a bright open-plan lounge/dining room with a dual aspect.
Features include a period-style sash window to the front, a brick fireplace, fitted cupboards and shelving to either side, and stairs rising to the first floor.
A door leads through to a clean but basic fitted kitchen, comprising a range of wall and base units, recesses for appliances, a wall-mounted gas boiler, and a side facing window.
From here, a door opens into the rear lobby, which provides access to the rear garden, a built-in storage cupboard, and the bathroom, fitted with an avocado coloured bath, matching wash basin, and WC.
The first floor landing gives access to both bedrooms, including the principal bedroom to the front with a sash window and built-in storage cupboard.
The rear bedroom enjoys wonderful views over the garden and also benefits from a further built-in storage cupboard.
Externally, the property boasts an impressive rear garden, mainly laid to lawn, with established hedges, plants, and shrubs to two sides, as well as a patio area.
