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.

Situation Weymouth is a picturesque seaside town located midway along the stunning Jurassic Coast, a unesco World Heritage Site, and lies just seven miles south of the historic county town of Dorchester.
Renowned for its golden sandy beaches, traditional promenade, and vibrant harbour.
In 2012, the town gained recognition as the host of the sailing events for the London Olympics, alongside neighbouring Portland, resulting in improved transport links, including the construction of a relief road and an extensive network of cycle paths.
The town offers a wide range of amenities, from independent shops and restaurants to leisure facilities and healthcare services, as well as a selection of schools.
Weymouth is serviced by mainline train links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads and a regular bus service to the County town of Dorchester.
Description Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to bedroom three and leads through to the impressive main living accommodation.
The true heart of the home is the exceptional double-aspect open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, creating a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a striking central island, providing an ideal social hub, while the generous proportions allow clearly defined kitchen, dining and sitting areas without compromising the wonderful feeling of openness.
The living space is further enhanced by bi-fold doors opening onto the raised south-facing terrace, seamlessly creating the perfect setting for summer entertaining and alfresco dining.
A further set of bi-fold doors provides additional access and ensures the room is flooded with natural light while making the most of the property's elevated position and far-reaching views.
The ground floor also provides three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom three is conveniently positioned off the entrance hall, while bedrooms two and four are accessed from the central hall.
A stylish modern shower room serves the ground-floor accommodation.

The bedroom enjoys some of the most spectacular views available in Preston, overlooking Lodmoor Nature Reserve and towards Weymouth Bay.
The master bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite bathroom.
To the front of the property is ample off-road parking for several vehicles, together with a lawned garden and the outstanding south-facing raised sun terrace.
Elevated above the surrounding area, this is undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features and provides an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the panoramic views.
