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.

The principal bedroom includes an en suite bathroom. The landing provides access to a partially boarded loft. Outside there is driveway parking and an established open-plan garden.
The double garage has been partially converted into a versatile studio with a skylight, easterly aspect and a door to the remainder of the garage.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and stocked with a variety of fruit trees and mature shrub borders. There is a shed and a small paved patio, the whole is enclosed by fencing.
