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 five bedroom detached architect designed home offering 2,930 square foot of accommodation over three floors, including a wonderful one bedroom annexe, standing on a generous plot of 0.45 acres.
Situated on Laurel Gardens, one of Broadstone's most sought-after and rarely available roads, this impressive family home enjoys a peaceful position backing directly onto a nature reserve, while remaining within half a mile of the village centre.
Broadstone offers a wide range of amenities including independent shops, restaurants, bakeries, butchers and a leisure centre, alongside a championship golf club and excellent schooling, including sought-after grammar and highly regarded private schools.
The property provides almost 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, making it ideal for modern family living or multi-generational use, with the lower ground floor offering exceptional annexe potential.
A spacious vaulted entrance hall forms an impressive first impression, providing access to all principal reception rooms and staircases leading to both the first and lower ground floors.
The sitting room is a generously proportioned, dual-aspect space featuring a large picture window overlooking the substantial plot and woodland backdrop.
A feature fireplace with gas fire creates a warm focal point. Oak doors lead to the kitchen/dining/family room; the true heart of the home.
This contemporary open-plan space is perfect for entertaining, with two sets of sliding doors opening onto a raised terrace that enjoys a secluded, tree-lined outlook.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye-level units, a large central island with breakfast bar, granite worktops and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven, sink with waste disposal and five-ring gas hob with extractor.
A separate utility room offers additional storage, space for an American-style fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink with drainer, and an external door providing side access.
Completing the ground floor is a separate study with a quiet front aspect and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. The first floor features a generous galleried landing overlooking the entrance hall.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with bespoke shutters, fitted wardrobes and furniture, and elevated views across the grounds.
The reconfigured en-suite bathroom offers a luxurious finish with a double shower, bath with handheld shower, dual vanity unit and WC.
Bedrooms two and three are both generous doubles with newly fitted Velux window glazing, fitted wardrobes and attractive tree-lined views.
Bedroom four is also a well-proportioned double with space for freestanding furniture.

The lower ground floor offers approximately 660 sq ft of flexible accommodation, ideal as additional reception space or a self-contained annexe for multi-generational living or additional income potential.
Currently arranged as a living room with log burning stove, large double bedroom, newly installed kitchen with combination oven and sink, and a modern bathroom with WC, basin and bath with shower over, this level also provides direct access to the garden.
Positioned at the end of Laurel Gardens, the property enjoys a private and secluded setting.
A block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking, complemented by a detached double garage offering further parking and storage.
The plot extends to approximately 0.45 acres, with a well-maintained lawned garden, multiple seating and entertaining areas, a large patio and raised terrace with steps down to the main garden.
