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
Situated in one of Orrell's popular and well established residential locations is this spacious semi detached home.
Orrell remains consistently sought after for its close proximity to the motorway network and its selection of well reputed schools and colleges.
And with a great range of amenities including bars, eateries and independent shops, alongside those which cater for daily practical needs, its clear to see why properties in this lovely village stay in high demand.
The accommodation within comprises briefly on the ground floor of an entrance hall, lounge, large conservatory, modern kitchen, shower room and two good sized bedrooms.
Moving upstairs you will find a lovely bright double bedroom, stacks of storage and a space currently used as a walk in wardrobe.
In our opinion, there's loads of potential here to create an additional bathroom subject to gaining the necessary permissions.
The property has gas central heating and UPVC double glazing and a new roof was installed in February this year.
Externally, the property sits on a very generous plot with ample driveway parking, a large garage ideal for anyone with a car hobby or similar, and there is a lovely low maintenance rear garden.
