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
Introducing a vastly extended four bedroom semi-detached family offering flexible accommodation across three floors whilst located just a moment away from idyllic woodland walks - offered to the market with no onward chain.
Upon entry, residents are greeted by the hallway with space for shoes and coats as well as access to the handy w/c.
Heading through to the rear, the ground floor has been extended to provide an expansive open-plan kitchen / family room creating a sociable space whilst providing direct access out to the rear garden.
The kitchen itself is well-equipped with ample wall and base units, plenty of countertop surface and space for white goods.
The living room overlooks the South-facing front aspect with a large half-bay window and characterful corner window allowing natural light to pour through whilst an ornate fireplace surround takes centre stage adding an attractive focal point to the room.
Heading up, the first floor hosts two generous double bedrooms overlooking the front and rear aspects and one single bedroom or excellent home office serviced by a modern fully-tiled family bathroom featuring a bath with rainfall shower overhead, heated towel rail, sink unit with under-basin storage and vanity mirror along with all essentials.
The dual-aspect principal bedroom occupies the second floor serviced by an en-suite shower room. Ample eaves storage remains perfect for any unsightly storable items.
The home does further benefit from a recently replaced boiler and solar panels on the roof significantly contributing to utility costs.
Externally, the rear garden offers a unique opportunity with two sizeable workshops offering a secure and dry area with power and lighting in-situ ideal for various crafts or hobbies although these areas could be adapted into a more formal studio / home office for those working from home.
An area of raised decking acts as the perfect sun-trap whilst providing space for a table, chairs and barbecue.
To the rear, a retired Koi pond could be reinstated or converted into a secondary secluded seating area. To the front, there is off road parking for multiple vehicles as well as handy side access.
