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 Home with Presence There is an immediate sense of character on arrival.
The traditional red-brick exterior, bay window and arched entrance give the house a distinctive period appearance, while its end position creates a little more separation than might ordinarily be expected from a home of this style.
Step inside and the sense of space begins to reveal itself.
High ceilings, deep skirting boards and decorative detailing give the interior a sense of substance, with a layout that has retained the definition and character of a traditional home. Two Rooms.
Two Different Moods. At the front of the house, the lounge is a comfortable and inviting room centred around the fireplace, with the bay window drawing natural light into the space.
There is ample room for generous seating, while the decorative cornicing, picture rail and considered use of colour complement the period detailing.
Beyond, the second reception room offers something distinctly different.
Currently arranged as a dining room, it works particularly well for both everyday life and entertaining, with french doors providing a direct connection to the garden.
A further fireplace with a wood-burning stove gives the room a natural focal point, while the space could work equally well as a dining room, additional living area or a combination of the two.
Practicality, Kept Separate Positioned beyond the dining room, the kitchen is arranged with work surfaces and cabinetry running along both sides.
Timber-effect cabinetry and worktops introduce warmth, balanced by white wall units and darker tiled splashbacks, while a large side-facing window keeps the room bright.
There is space for the everyday appliances expected of a working kitchen, with a door at the rear providing another convenient route into the garden.
Bedrooms with Space Around Them Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The principal bedroom extends across the front of the house, with ample room for a large bed alongside freestanding furniture.
Its scale allows the room to feel comfortably furnished rather than simply filled, with a front-facing window bringing in plenty of daylight.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double, offering genuine flexibility as a full-time bedroom, guest room or home office.
More Than a Functional Bathroom The bathroom is unusually spacious for a home of this type.
A bath and separate shower enclosure sit alongside the WC and wall-mounted basin, with enough floor space for each element to feel comfortably positioned.
A window provides natural light, while the simple palette and timber-effect flooring keep the room relaxed and practical.
A Garden to Retreat To To the rear, the garden provides a welcome sense of privacy and greenery so close to town.
A paved area immediately behind the house creates space to sit outside, opening onto lawn bordered by established planting and mature greenery.
Its enclosed nature gives the garden a pleasantly tucked-away feel, with scope for someone to shape the space further over time.
An outside WC is a useful addition, while a substantial detached store provides approximately 249 sq ft of further space for bikes, garden equipment and general storage, with potential to explore alternative uses subject to any necessary consents and works.
Beyond the rear gate, an EV charging point introduces a useful modern convenience to this characterful period home. EPC Rating: D
