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
Ashbrooke Cottage is a truly exceptional residence, combining the character of an 1881 property with striking contemporary architecture.
Extending to over 4,500 sq ft across four floors, the property has been comprehensively upgraded and reimagined to create a highly individual modern home.
Set behind a substantial privacy wall and automated electric gates, the property benefits from the rare advantage of no immediate residential neighbours, offering an exceptional level of privacy while remaining less than half a mile from Argyle House School and within easy reach of Sunderland city centre and Durham.
The original frontage has been beautifully remodelled with an extended roofline, bespoke solid oak detailing, herringbone brickwork and a handcrafted oak entrance.
To the rear, the property opens into a dramatic contemporary pavilion featuring extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, glass, metalwork and chrome detailing.
The accommodation includes five bedrooms, three substantial reception rooms, a principal suite with direct terrace access, an executive home office and a designer kitchen, alongside a range of bespoke contemporary finishes.
Three levels of balconies and terraces provide exceptional outdoor entertaining space, with the lower-ground terrace creating a private retreat complete with a luxury hot tub, African thatched-roof gazebo, seating for eight and dedicated barbecue area.
Further features include a three-to-four-vehicle electric garage, reclaimed cobbled driveway, automated gates and comprehensive CCTV.
The elevated terraces enjoy open views across green surroundings and cricket grounds.
A genuinely one-of-a-kind private residence, offering an extraordinary combination of architectural individuality, privacy, contemporary design and exceptional entertaining space.
