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
Welcome to Portsmouth Road!
Tucked away from the main road along a peaceful, tree-lined slip road, this charming three-bedroom detached home offers a rare sense of privacy while still being conveniently located.
Set back in a secluded position, the property opens into an inviting entrance porch and hallway with understairs storage, leading through to a bright and spacious dual-aspect lounge diner.
A feature bay window at the front allows natural light to pour in, creating a warm and welcoming space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The fitted kitchen is well arranged with classic shaker-style units, tiled splashbacks and a useful larder cupboard, offering both charm and practicality.
To the rear, a conservatory provides additional living space with pleasant views over the garden, along with a convenient ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles, all benefiting from built-in storage.
The landing leads to a modern shower room complete with a stylish vanity unit and full-height tiling for a clean, contemporary finish.
The garden is a true highlight, backing directly onto woodland and offering a high level of privacy and a peaceful outlook.
Mainly laid to lawn, it also features two patio seating areas positioned at either end of the garden, making it perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the day.
To the front, the property benefits from a low-maintenance garden, driveway parking and a detached garage measuring approximately 19 feet, providing excellent storage or workshop potential.
Although some updating may be required, the property already benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, and is offered with no forward chain.
