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
A beautifully presented three-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached home with private driveway and garage, set on a superb corner plot. Offered chain free.
Description: Steeped in history and full of character, this exceptional semi-detached residence dates back to the early 1900s and beautifully combines period elegance with contemporary style.
Many of its original features have been carefully preserved, including ornate ceiling roses, exposed floorboards, and striking stained-glass panels in the front door, each detail contributing to the home’s timeless appeal.
The current owners have enhanced the property with a series of thoughtful improvements, including the addition of a stylish cloakroom beneath the stairs, a beautifully appointed modern kitchen, and a sophisticated family bathroom.
To the side, an attached garage and utility room provide excellent practicality, with exciting potential for future extensions, subject to relevant consents.
Nearby properties have also converted loft spaces, and planning previously existed for a two-storey rear extension, which has now expired.
A recessed porch opens into an inviting entrance hall that immediately showcases the home’s character and charm.
The bay-fronted living room, complete with an open fireplace, offers a welcoming space to unwind, while the adjoining dining room is perfect for entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen, fitted by the current owners, includes a range of integrated appliances, such as a dishwasher, microwave, fan-assisted oven, gas hob, and cooker hood, and provides direct access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are three beautifully presented bedrooms, two generous doubles and a comfortable single, along with an elegant family bathroom completing the accommodation.
Outside, the rear garden faces south-east and is a sun trap, offering a peaceful sanctuary with a patio area and arbour, along with direct access to the garage and utility room.
Further benefits include gas central heating via a combination boiler, double glazing throughout, and a spacious driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles.
