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 contemporary and versatile four/five bedroom family home, enjoying a quiet setting on the cul-de-sac.
Piping Close is a quiet and attractive cul-de-sac located in a well-established part of Colden Common, moments from countryside walks, bus routes and falls within the popular Colden Common Primary & Kings' School catchments.
This handsome detached house offers flexible living space throughout, and occupies a proud position on the road, with a leafy rear garden and a smart block paved driveway for two cars.
The downstairs layout has benefited from a cleverly designed garage conversion carried out by the current owners, which has created a fifth (double sized) bedroom or family room, a stylish shower room and separate utility room.
There is scope if required to re-configure further to create an annexe (subject to planning consent).
The kitchen was extended prior to current ownership, recently re-fitted with a contemporary Wren kitchen, with built in appliances, a stunning Quartz worktop, a plumbed in cold water filter, plenty of storage & preparation space, and a substantial freestanding gas cooker.
Attractive engineered oak flooring is laid throughout much of downstairs, providing a smart looking downstairs hallway, which also features custom built understairs storage drawers.
The living room is a bright sociable space with room for a large table & chairs and several sofas, with doors to the patio.
Further double doors lead to a good sized conservatory, and in turn to the garden.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, one featuring a built in wardrobe, another dual aspect and another leading to a further room, currently serving well as a craft room.
There is a stylish family bathroom with a shower over the bath, a window and a chrome heated towel rail.
There is a loft hatch on the landing with a drop down ladder, offering scope for a loft conversion (subject to relevant planning consents).
The house has gas central heating from a recent serviced Combi boiler, double glazing, an EPC Rating C (full report to follow) and if required there is planning permission granted for an extension above the kitchen.
Externally there is a front lawn laid next to the driveway, with a flowering magnolia tree, and a useful shed to the side housing the EV charging point, providing space for a couple of motorbikes or bicycles.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a smart patio for outside dining and mature trees in the distance, providing a high degree of privacy.
There is a pretty summerhouse at the far end, with power & light, and a well-established fig tree, weeping mulberry tree, cherry and apple trees. Please contact Goadsby to arrange your viewing.
