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
Perfect for growing families or first time buyers. Scope to personalise and update.
Level rear garden and driveway parking OVERVIEW Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this three bedroomed house is ideal for the next growing family to make their own.
The accommodation is well balanced - a porch/utility has been added at the rear, perfect for muddy shoes, coats or pets and, as the accommodation is partially over the ginnel at first floor level, there is a generous master bedroom.
The level rear garden has space for play as well as flower beds or produce and there is a handy garden shed with power.
Available with no onward chain, the property has a great location within walking distance of Oxenholme Station, Westmorland General Hospital and Asda Supermarket plus bus routes are close by.
ACCOMMODATION From Helmside Road, a driveway leads to the glazed front door and a shared ginnel at the side into the rear garden.
Once inside, the hallway is light and bright with natural light coming in from a skylight on the landing and through the glazed lounge door.
Moving into the lounge, neutral decor ensures buyers can personalise to their own tastes over time. A carved wooden fire surround with marble style inset and a gas fire provides a focal point.
- The kitchen diner overlooks the rear garden and is a good size, easily accommodating a family dining table.
Wood fronted units with pale marble style worktops, tiled splashbacks and a one and half bowl sink with drainer. There is a gas hob, integrated fridge and a built-in oven and grill.
A handy under stairs cupboard has been retained - perfect for household bits and bobs.
The addition of a rear porch is a real bonus - having space for an extra fridge or freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and hanging space for coats. A door leads to the rear garden and side ginnel.
- From the landing, there is access via a drop down ladder to the loft and a skylight provides natural light.
The largest of the two double bedrooms is at the rear with pleasant outlook over rooftops towards trees.
Being over the ginnel below, this double bedroom is larger than expected and has good range of fitted furniture.
The second double and the single bedroom are both at the front of the house with outlook between houses towards distant hills - the double bedroom has fitted furniture.
The bathroom is fitted with a white three piece suite. - Externally, the property has driveway parking and a low maintenance gravelled area at the front.
A shared ginnel runs between 93 and 95 into the respective rear gardens. The level rear garden has a patio close to the house plus a lawn, perfect for pets or children to play.
The shed at the end of the garden has power connected and the outside loo has been retained - a useful second facility!
