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 towards the head of a cul-de-sac on the periphery of The Willows, this terraced house offers a traditional two-bedroom design, featuring a southerly orientated rear garden arranged over tiers and enjoying a pleasant green outlook.
A particular attribute of the property is the private garage, complete with a pitched roof providing useful storage, together with driveway parking immediately in front.
Owned by our clients for the past twenty-three years and now offered for sale with no onward chain, the house has been well maintained and cared for, recently benefiting from replacement windows.
The property enjoys a convenient position within close proximity of the popular Willows Shopping District, where Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Boots, Next and a wide range of other major retailers can be found.
Torbay Hospital is also easily accessible, while for those commuting beyond Torquay, the A380 South Devon Highway provides excellent links to Exeter and the M5 motorway.
