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
As soon as I stepped foot into Polegate Avenue I knew it was a home that had been carefully crafted into a property that was there to be enjoyed, one where you can bring your friends and family over without fear of judgement, a spot where you can relax at the end of the day and let the outside world just fade away.
Situated on the ever popular Blackberry Point estate the property is one of the larger of the semi-detached designs and offers off-road parking with electric charging point, and integral garage.
On entering the home you find yourself in a panelled entrance hallway with downstairs WC off, don't let the monkey lights and bamboo wallpaper confuse you, this is definitely still South Manchester.
Across the hall is the main living room space, with dual aspect windows you are never short of light, and to cap it off the current owners have fitted a projector with remote controlled screen that is hidden away when not needed.
Also, perfect for this time of year, the room comes with an air conditioning unit, something that I imagine has come in handy recently!
To the rear of the house is the large open plan kitchen/dining space.
The owners here have turned to a larger dining table that doubles as island/worktop space, but there's plenty of room if you decided to opt for a fitted island or simply to open it up completed.
The kitchen items are fitted Neff, and the space feel light and airy with the bi-folding rear doors that open onto the landscaped rear garden.
An undercover seating area with fire-pit/table and further projector point is perfect for those evenings spent with friends and family, children or just on your own, glass in hand (beverage of your choosing!).
Upstairs when you walk into the main bedroom you can feel the effort that has gone into the maximising the space and features, which include the blue and gold wallpaper, hanging lights and access into the en-suite bathroom (check out the regal toilet roll holder), with shower cubicle, WC and sink.
The third bedroom has been repurposed currently into an office space, but with the fitted wardrobes, you can see the potential here for another bedroom if needed, or simply leave it as your home office!
Across the landing is the main family bathroom.
I don't know how to put into words how cool this room feels as you enter, suffice to say the built in TV over the bath helps, as does the shelved areas for the bathroom storage.
Completing the upstairs is the second bedroom, with feature light fitting, panelled walls and plenty of space for a double bed.
