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
52 beeches close is an established semi detached family home situated in one of the town's most sought after residential locations just off Newport Road and within easy reach of Saffron Walden's County High School and main centre.
The property itself occupies a particularly favourable position being placed to one corner with gardens extending to about 0.26 of an acre and adjoining open countryside providing spectacular distant views.
Accommodation provides well proportioned and versatile living space, having been altered and enlarged over the years.
The front door opens into a broad entrance hall where stairs rise to the first floor.
The sitting room looks out to the front and features an attractive engineered wooden floor, open fireplace and patio doors opening to outside and a patio area.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with a range of storage cupboards complemented by granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances including double oven, 4-plate hob with extractor fan over and dishwasher.
The kitchen is partially vaulted with two overhead skylight windows which draw in good amounts of natural light, being in addition to the rear window overlooking the gardens.
A separate utility room incorporates further storage cupboards and worktops, sink unit and further appliance space, with a door opening to outside giving access to the large patio area.
There is a ground floor shower room which contains a 3-piece suite and rear hallway which leads to further "annexe" accommodation.
This comprises two rooms providing a sitting/study area and bedroom, both of which have a window looking onto the garden. Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
It is worth noting that the master bedroom looks out to the rear and has truly stunning distant views over surrounding countryside.
Outside, the property is set back from the road behind a driveway which provides off-street parking space and gives access to a single integral garage.
As previously mentioned, the whole plot extends to about 0.26 of an acre so enjoys garden space much larger than what might be expected, currently laid to lawn and incorporating a range of flowerbeds and borders stocked with plants and shrubs with a natural border enclosing this superb space.
There is an extensive patio adjoining the rear of the property with low retaining brick wall and a step up to the lawn area.
