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
This attractive four bedroom, three bathroom family home represents exceptional value for money in one of Lostock's most sought after residential locations.
Offering well balanced and versatile accommodation, the property is currently configured with two separate reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for modern family life.
For buyers seeking more contemporary open plan living, there is clear potential to reconfigure the rear of the property to create an expansive kitchen, dining and family space, subject to any necessary consents.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot at the head of a quiet cul de sac, a position that is consistently popular with families due to its peaceful setting and limited passing traffic.
The rear garden is already of a good size, but there is further scope to increase the outdoor space by relocating the garage, creating an even larger garden for families and those who enjoy entertaining outdoors.
Homes offering this combination of space, flexibility, location and future potential rarely remain available for long.
Early viewing is therefore strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this excellent family home has to offer.
The seller informs us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 999 years from 1 December 1964 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £10.
