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 superbly presented 'Halls Adjoining' family home is bright and spacious throughout.
It sensitively combines a classic period-style decoration theme with modern fittings, providing a delightful interior with a luxurious feel.
The property features an impressive fitted kitchen breakfast room with appliances built in, and benefits from two generously proportioned reception rooms, the dining room overlooking the rear garden, and the elegant lounge, offering a tranquil escape at the front of the property.
All three of the bedrooms are genuine doubles located on the first floor along with the modern family bathroom.
This home is not just about the stylish interior; a pleasant and secluded garden can be found at the rear, and ample off-street parking is available at the front.
There is also a handy ground-floor cloakroom and a garage to the side.
It is very rare that Gower d's of this calibre come onto the market, and the only way to fully appreciate the style and luxury of this family home is to view it internally.
The Gower D This style of house is known locally as the Gower D.
Held in regard due to the quality of build, this is a fine example of the 1930's architecture and construction, particularly impressive of this design is the size of the reception rooms and the fact all three of the bedrooms are genuine doubles.
Extension Potential Similar Gower d's in the immediate area have been extended to the side, rear and into the eaves space to provide additional bedrooms, bathrooms and further living spaces.
The garage could also be converted into living accommodation as others have done too.
This scope certainly exists here too, and any such improvement will obviously require the relevant local authority consents.
