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
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this immaculate three-bedroom family home has been extensively updated by the current owners, offering a modern finish throughout together with a large south-facing rear garden, conservatory, wooden terrace and private driveway for two cars.
The property has benefited from a comprehensive range of improvements, including new uPVC double-glazed windows, a new combi boiler and radiators, updated electrics with a new fuse board and additional circuits, replastering, new flooring throughout, updated bathrooms and downstairs WC, modern lighting and extensive exterior improvements.
Ground Floor The property is entered via a modern anti-theft aluminium entrance door, complemented by tall side windows and a newly installed entrance canopy, creating a bright and welcoming entrance.
The entrance hall features a striking staircase with real oak steps, integrated LED lighting and attractive light beige stone-effect wall cladding, creating a modern focal point.
The downstairs WC is conveniently positioned off the hall and has been finished with large dark grey floor tiles, a modern white built-in WC unit and ceramic sink.
The large kitchen offers plenty of storage and workspace, with a practical half-island providing additional preparation space.
It is fitted with light beige cupboards, light oak-effect laminate worktops and a double oven, with a rear door providing direct access to the garden terrace.
The room is finished with dark brown wood-effect flooring and modern LED lighting.
The lounge has been finished in contemporary grey tones, with dark grey wood-effect flooring, light grey walls and a feature chimney breast finished in black diamond-effect paint with a black electric heater.
Large sliding patio doors open directly into the conservatory, creating a natural flow between the living space and the garden.
The conservatory in turn opens onto the covered wooden terrace, providing an excellent area for outdoor furniture and entertaining.
Throughout the ground floor, the property benefits from light oak internal doors with attractive glazed features.
First Floor The oak staircase leads to the first-floor landing, continuing the light beige stone-effect wall finish and LED lighting.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all finished with smart smoked beige/brown wood-effect flooring matching the internal doors.
The master bedroom further benefits from a large fitted sliding-door wardrobe, providing excellent storage.
The family bathroom has been updated and is fully tiled in light beige, with a large bathtub featuring a mixer tap and overhead shower, WC, large ceramic sink and silver heated towel rail.
Two windows provide plenty of natural light, while the room is finished with dark brown floor tiles and modern lighting.
Outside One of the property's standout features is the large south-facing rear garden, offering plenty of space for families, entertaining and outdoor activities.
The garden is enclosed by new timber fencing with concrete-based posts and features a beautiful wooden terrace directly outside the conservatory.
The conservatory connects seamlessly with the roofed terrace, creating a particularly useful outdoor entertaining area.
Towards the rear is a paved section with a large garden shed and designated space for wheelie bins. The garden also benefits from rear gate access.
To the front, there is a large private driveway providing parking for two cars.
