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
This extended end-of-terrace home on Sturminster Road offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and flexible living space throughout.
**Overview** The entrance hallway connects to a bright living room which has a large front window and a stone-effect chimney breast with an electric fire inset.
It is a comfortable room for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units, wood-effect worktops, metro-style tiled splashbacks and a freestanding cooker.
There is space for a washing machine and a handy under-stairs storage cupboard.
An opening through to the dining room links the spaces and makes for an ideal social hub within the home while there is access to the garden and a velux window that adds to the light flooding into the space.
The extension also provides a ground floor bedroom, currently used as a home office, and a shower room with a shower cubicle, WC and wash basin. Upstairs are two bedrooms.
The main bedroom is a generous double with two built-in storage cupboards, and the second bedroom is another comfortable double with an outlook over the garden.
The family bathroom has a white suite with a panelled bath, pedestal wash basin and WC. **Outside** The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is securely enclosed.
A paved patio sits just outside the dining room door, and steps lead up to the lawn, with planted borders and a raised seating area at the far end. There is also a storage shed and a water butt.
To the front is a sizeable garden which adds plenty of additional outdoor space to work with, or potential to add a driveway for two cars.
**Location** Sturminster Road is well served by the 2 and 2A bus routes, which run from Stockwood to Cribbs Causeway via the city centre.
There are plenty of green spaces nearby, including Burnbush Park (0.3 miles) and Stockwood Nature Reserve (0.8 miles), and a Co-op for everyday essentials is just 0.4 miles away.
Whitchurch Village and the Whitchurch Railway Path are easily reached on foot, with pathways only a few minutes from the front door, making it ideal for walks, cycling and a bit of fresh air.
Families are also well placed for schooling, with Woodlands Academy on Whittock Road and Whitchurch Primary School on Bristol Road 0.2 miles and 0.5 miles away respectively.
**We think...** This is an ideal home for first time buyers looking for a home that offers a good amount of space and has some potential to make their own over time.
**Material information (provided by owner)** This property is freehold, the EPC rating is D and the council tax band is B.
