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
Occupying an enviable and truly idyllic position on Plodder Lane, Bolton, this exceptional double-fronted semi-detached family home offers an impressive combination of spacious accommodation, stylish contemporary living and a wonderful semi-rural setting.
Surrounded by open farmland to both the front and rear, the property enjoys a peaceful outlook while remaining ideally positioned for access to local amenities, schools, transport links and the surrounding towns.
The substantial accommodation is arranged over three floors and benefits from large windows throughout, creating an abundance of natural light and a bright, spacious atmosphere.
The property would make an outstanding family home, offering six bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, exceptional kitchen and dining facilities and several en-suite bedrooms.
The property is approached through secure gated access, leading to off-road parking and attractive, low-maintenance gardens surrounding the house.
The front elevation provides a particularly striking first impression, with large double entrance doors opening into a spacious reception hallway.
There is also planning permission in place for the addition of a front porch, with footings already installed. Upon entering the impressive hallway, there is access to a convenient downstairs W.C.
To the left is a well-proportioned and welcoming living room, providing an ideal space for relaxation.
To the right is a second, superb dual-aspect living room, which benefits from excellent natural light and patio doors opening directly onto the rear of the property.
This versatile room provides an ideal second family sitting room, entertaining space or additional reception room.
The principal feature of the ground floor is the outstanding fitted kitchen/dining room.
Finished to a high specification, this superb open and sociable space is centred around a large feature island, providing an excellent focal point and generous preparation and seating space.
Large windows and two sets of patio doors to the side and rear elevations flood the room with natural light while creating a seamless connection with the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The kitchen is further complemented by a separate, smaller kitchen conveniently positioned just off the main kitchen, providing additional preparation, storage or utility space.
To the first floor, a generous landing provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite shower room, while bedroom four also enjoys its own en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The generous landing and spacious room proportions further demonstrate the property's suitability for a growing family.
The accommodation continues to the second floor, where a further spacious landing leads to two additional bedrooms.
Bedroom two benefits from its own en-suite, making this level particularly versatile for older children, guests or extended family members.
Externally, the property enjoys an exceptional setting, with open farmland providing a delightful outlook to both the front and rear.
Gated access leads to parking, while the gardens have been designed for ease of maintenance and provide useful outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
Importantly, there is also a substantial plot of land situated to the side of the property which is owned by the vendor.
The vendor may consider selling this land separately, presenting a potentially rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire additional land alongside this exceptional home.
Any potential sale would be subject to separate negotiation and agreement.
Overall, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom, double-fronted family residence in a highly desirable and peaceful semi-rural location.
