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
Situated in the ever-popular residential area of Sticklepath, within easy reach of local schooling, amenities and Barnstaple town centre, this impressive, individual architect design home built in 2009 by the current vendor, offers beautifully maintained accommodation, generous gardens and excellent outdoor space, making it an ideal choice for family living.
Occupying a particularly generous plot, the property is approached via a gated driveway providing ample driveway parking.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright and spacious entrance hallway, which provides access to a convenient ground-floor cloakroom and useful utility room, offering additional storage and appliance space.
The true heart of this wonderful home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/dining room.
The attractive modern fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units, generous worktop space and a selection of integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, double oven, electric hob and wine fridge.
There is ample room for a family dining table and chairs, while French doors open directly onto a delightful private patio area.
Double doors lead through to the generously proportioned living room, featuring an attractive electric fireplace as a focal point.
From here, doors open into the lovely conservatory, which overlooks the beautifully landscaped rear gardens, and is fitted with Hilarys pleated roof blinds and two radiators.
To the first floor, the main bedroom is a comfortable double room benefiting from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
Bedroom two is another generously sized double, also featuring built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom offers flexibility with a delightful feature of a roof window opening onto a Juliet-style balcony.
A further shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, the beautifully landscaped, fully enclosed, west-facing rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully arranged with attractive seating areas, low-maintenance artificial lawn, established mature shrubs and trees, and the added benefit of mains-wired remote-controlled garden lighting.
Towards the far end of the garden is a superb, detached garden room, offering excellent versatility as a home office, hobby room or peaceful garden retreat. Adjoining this is a useful workshop.
