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
Whitegates Crewe are delighted to present this impressive three-bedroom detached family home, occupying what is undoubtedly one of its standout positions within the surrounding development.
Offering a notably larger plot alongside generously proportioned internal accommodation, the property provides an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for more space both inside and out than is typically associated with homes in the immediate area.
Upon entering the property, buyers are welcomed into an entrance hallway which provides access through to the principal ground-floor accommodation.
The living room offers an excellent amount of space for everyday family life, with its generous proportions allowing plenty of flexibility for a variety of furniture arrangements.
The larger internal footprint of the property is particularly noticeable throughout the home, helping to create a comfortable and spacious feel that sets it apart from many neighbouring properties.
The kitchen provides a practical space for day-to-day use, with ample room for storage and preparation while remaining well connected to the remainder of the ground-floor accommodation.
Completing the ground floor is the dining area, providing a dedicated space for family meals and entertaining and further demonstrating the excellent amount of usable living accommodation available within the home.
Moving upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generously proportioned room with plenty of space for bedroom furniture while still retaining a comfortable and open feel.
Bedroom two provides another well-proportioned bedroom and would work particularly well as a child's room, guest bedroom or additional double bedroom depending on the requirements of the purchaser.
The third bedroom provides further flexibility and could equally be utilised as a child's bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office for those requiring somewhere to work from home.
The first-floor accommodation is completed by the family bathroom, conveniently positioned to serve all three bedrooms.
Externally is where this particular property really begins to distinguish itself.
The home occupies one of the largest plots within the surrounding area, providing considerably more outside space than buyers may typically expect from similar properties nearby.
To the rear is a particularly generous private garden, creating a fantastic environment for family life, entertaining and children to enjoy.
Its impressive size also allows the garden to benefit from plenty of sunlight throughout the warmer months, with ample space for seating, outdoor dining and recreation.
To the front, the property benefits from its own driveway providing convenient off-road parking alongside an additional front garden.
For buyers requiring further parking, the size and layout of the frontage offers excellent potential for the garden area to be adapted to provide additional driveway space, subject to any necessary permissions.
The property is currently occupied by tenants; however, importantly for prospective purchasers, it will be sold with vacant possession, with the existing tenants due to vacate.
This allows buyers to purchase the property for their own occupation without inheriting an ongoing tenancy.
Merlin Way is positioned within the popular CW1 area of Crewe, with a good selection of everyday amenities available nearby and several primary schools within the surrounding area.
Mablins Lane Community Primary School and Leighton Academy are both located close by, while the property is also well placed for access to Leighton Hospital.
Crewe Railway Station provides useful connections for commuters, while Crewe town centre and the wider road network are also readily accessible.
Offering a combination of a substantially sized plot, larger-than-average internal proportions, excellent family accommodation and a particularly impressive rear garden, this is a property that needs to be viewed in person to fully appreciate the space on offer.
