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
Positioned in one of Southsea's most sought-after locations, Lennox Road South enjoys an enviable setting just moments from Clarence Parade, Southsea Common and the seafront beyond.
This substantial semi-detached home combines generous proportions and attractive period character with a thoughtfully updated interior, offering versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.
An attractive arched storm porch provides an impressive entrance to the property, opening into a generous reception hall, where a large lead-light style window illuminates the staircase and creates a striking first impression.
The bay-fronted lounge features bespoke fitted cabinetry, while the adjoining formal dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining and flows naturally through to the traditional kitchen.
Fitted with solid wood work surfaces and a Stove dual-fuel range cooker, the kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and conservatory, which overlooks the garden and provides an additional reception space.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive bay-fronted principal bedroom.
These rooms are served by an exceptional suite of bathroom facilities, including a luxurious, hotel-style bathroom with a designer freestanding bath and wood flooring, a separate wet-room shower and an additional WC.
The top floor provides two further rooms, offering considerable flexibility for bedrooms, hobbies or home working.
Outside, the west-facing courtyard garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with paved seating areas and mature planted borders, creating an attractive and private space that enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine.
To the rear, the single garage has been divided to create a home gym and separate store. This could readily be converted back to provide a conventional garage if preferred.
An access protection marker positioned on the road outside the garage provides a reserved area for parking a vehicle across the garage entrance, adding further convenience.
A particularly appealing feature of this property is its location, with Clarence Parade and the wide open spaces of Southsea Common virtually on the doorstep, together with the seafront beyond.
The vibrant amenities of central Southsea, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars, are also within easy reach. The property is offered for sale with no forward chain.
