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.

The property also benefits from a good sized family bathroom, a utility area which could offer further conversion potential and a storage area to the side of the property.
The loft is particularly noteworthy as it is of a size that could very easily accommodate the largest of master bedrooms or two further bedrooms (subject to the usual planning constraints) Outside and to the rear there is a private South West facing garden which is laid to lawn, patio and herbaceous borders.
