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.

The property has also been re roofed, providing reassurance for prospective purchasers.
While well cared for, the home now requires a degree of modernisation, offering an excellent opportunity to upgrade and tailor the interior to personal tastes.
The front garden has been thoughtfully re configured with attractive monoblock, creating a neat, low maintenance frontage and offering the potential for off street parking once a dropped kerb is installed.
Enclosed by timber fencing with a central timber gate and bordered by mature hedging, the space provides both privacy and practicality. A side pathway leads to the private entrance door.

Glazed timber doors enhance the flow of light between rooms, while the neutral décor provides an ideal backdrop for future modernisation.

A large window overlooks the front garden, filling the room with daylight and creating a bright, welcoming kitchen.

To the rear, the property benefits from a private garden area laid mainly to lawn, together with a communal drying area and a further private section of garden beyond.
The garden is bordered by mature hedging and fencing for privacy. A paved patio area provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxation, complemented by a garden shed offering useful storage.
