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
Description Situated in a highly convenient position close to Bedford town centre, this spacious four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, complemented by a newly converted, self-contained annexe and particularly generous bathroom facilities throughout the property.
Originally forming part of the property's garage, the annexe has been thoughtfully converted to create a high-quality additional living space, while the main house has also been significantly upgraded to provide an impressive level of bathroom provision for a property of this age.
The main house is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, providing access to the principal living accommodation and creating a practical entrance to the property.
The generous living spaces offer plenty of room for both everyday family life and entertaining, while the well-appointed kitchen provides a functional and versatile space with scope for further personalisation if required.
Upstairs, the main house offers three good-sized bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for a family.
The principal reception room features an impressive working wood-burning fireplace with a fully functioning chimney, creating a warm and characterful focal point.
The original family bathroom has been beautifully and comprehensively refurbished to a high standard, featuring a stylish finish and creating an impressive contemporary bathroom.
The property also benefits from an additional second bathroom within the main house, together with a separate ground-floor WC, providing an unusually generous level of bathroom accommodation for a period family home.
The bathroom provision is a particular strength of the property, offering excellent practicality for busy family life and helping to set the home apart from many similar period properties, which can often have more limited facilities.
The combination of the two bathrooms and separate WC within the main house, together with the annexe's own private bathroom, provides exceptional flexibility and convenience.
A further highlight is the newly converted annexe, which provides the fourth bedroom and is located on the ground floor, having been created from the former garage.
Benefiting from its own private entrance, the annexe comprises a separate living area, kitchen facilities, bedroom and private bathroom, creating a complete and independent living environment.
This versatile space is ideally suited to a dependent relative, older child, visiting family or guests, while also offering potential as a dedicated home-working space or rental opportunity, subject to any necessary planning permissions, consents and regulations.
Externally, the property benefits from private gardens providing useful outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and family use, together with off-road parking.
The combination of generous family accommodation, extensive bathroom facilities, independent annexe accommodation, gardens and parking makes this a particularly versatile home capable of adapting to a variety of family requirements.
