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
Location Connaught Road is situated in Bowerham, a well-established residential area to the south of Lancaster city centre.
The area is particularly convenient for access to the University of Cumbria and Royal Lancaster Infirmary, while Lancaster University is also within straightforward travelling distance.
The city centre can be reached easily by road, public transport or on foot, providing access to a wider range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and Lancaster railway station.
Bowerham itself has a good selection of everyday amenities, including local shops, convenience stores, schools and regular bus services.
Williamson Park and the surrounding countryside provide opportunities for walking and recreation, while road links towards the A6 and M6 make the location practical for those travelling further afield.
Property Information Set back from the road behind a small forecourt, Connaught Road is a traditional two-bedroom stone-built terrace which has been owned as a long-term rental investment for approximately 12 years.
The property benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and an extended ground-floor layout providing more living space than might initially be expected.
The front entrance opens into a good-sized living room.
Beyond this, the kitchen is fitted with modern grey Howdens slab-style units, work surfaces and integrated cooking facilities, with space for further appliances.
An especially useful feature is the rear extension, which provides a separate second lounge.
With French doors opening directly onto the courtyard, this flexible room could equally work as a dining room or home office. Upstairs are two double bedrooms.
The larger front bedroom measures approximately 12'10" x 10'6", while the rear bedroom is also a comfortable double at approximately 12'10" x 8'8".
The bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and pedestal wash basin.
Outside, the rear courtyard provides a practical, relatively low-maintenance outdoor space enclosed by traditional stone walling.
There is room for outdoor seating, while the French doors from the rear lounge provide a direct connection between the house and garden. Parking is available on street.
