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
**CLOSING DATE SET: Friday 29th May at 12 noon** A charming 5-bedroom detached family home situated on one of the most desirable streets in Lasswade, with a spacious rear extension/annex, stunning garden and far-reaching views of the Pentland Hills.
Beaconsfield occupies a delightful position within the Broomieknowe Conservation Area – a scenic, semi-rural location within the small thriving town of Lasswade.
This exceptionally pretty house exudes the quintessential ‘picture-postcard’ qualities that so many look for in their forever home.
The original single-storey house was built in 1832 but was extended in 1932 to create the first floor.
The current owners further extended the home in 2006 to create a fabulous annex which is sympathetically in-keeping with the rest of the home.
Directly adjoining the kitchen, the extension can be utilised either as additional living space, or it could function as a separate 1-bedroom annex as desired.
The house boasts many attractive period features to include open fireplaces, astragal glazed windows, dado picture rails and ornate cornicing, with the added benefit of every room in the original part of the house featuring dual aspect windows which allow through plenty of natural light.
The established gardens are a particular feature of Beaconsfield with beautifully manicured lawns interspersed by colourful herbaceous borders, mature trees and shrubs.
Of particular note is an elegant Walnut tree which has been documented as being one of the finest specimens throughout Scotland, in front of which stands the original well that provided water to the house throughout the 19th century.
