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.

Highwoods Country Park provides an excellent space for family bike rides, picnics and exploring the great outdoors.

This home has been totally refurbished with a beautiful country style kitchen complete with a central island. The colour schemes create a lovely feeling throughout. The rooms are generous in size.
The three bedrooms are all double sizes and two have ensuites as well as the family bathroom.
This home has lots of versatility and the conservatory works in unison with the garden for family BBQ's and parties. There is an electric charge point to the front and there is a garage as well.
