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 beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom semi-detached family home, situated in a popular residential position on Pipers Avenue in South Harpenden.
Presented in impeccable condition throughout, the property offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over three floors, extending to approximately 1,601 sq ft, together with a generous 100ft rear garden, detached cabin/studio and substantial off-street parking to the front.
The property is approached via a wide block-paved driveway providing excellent off-street parking and leads to a welcoming entrance hall.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully extended and reconfigured to create a superb layout for modern family living.
To the front is a well-proportioned living room, while to the rear is a versatile family room which provides an additional reception space and works particularly well as a relaxed family area.
The principal living space is the impressive kitchen/diner, positioned towards the rear of the property and forming the heart of the home.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units and integrated appliances, with ample work surface and storage.
There is excellent space for dining, making this a sociable room for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The ground floor is completed by a useful cloakroom and hallway with access to the upper floors.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a further bedroom which would also lend itself well to use as a nursery or home office.
These rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom, creating a private and peaceful retreat away from the remainder of the accommodation.
The room is generously proportioned and benefits from excellent natural light and bespoke fitted wardrobes.
Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately 100ft and providing an excellent balance of lawn and paved areas.
The generous garden offers considerable space for children, outdoor dining and entertaining, while the far end houses a superb detached cabin/studio.
This versatile space provides an ideal home office, gym, studio or hobby room and significantly enhances the property's overall flexibility.
To the front, the substantial block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads through to a detached garage.
Situated on Pipers Avenue, the property is well placed for local amenities and schooling.
The highly regarded Grove schools are nearby, while Southdown offers a range of shops, cafes and everyday conveniences within walking distance.
There are also a number of parks and open spaces close by, and Harpenden mainline station, providing direct access into London, is approximately a twenty five minute walk away.
