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
This charming three-bedroom character terraced on Smisby Road seamlessly blends period features with practical modern living.
Step inside to a welcoming living room bathed in natural light from the bay window, where a log burner creates a cosy centrepiece for winter evenings.
Beyond lies a dining room which leads to the kitchen, with the dining room boasting its own traditional fireplace, offering an inviting space for entertaining, as well as a separate stairway down to a dry, fully radiator-heated cellar that serves as ideal additional storage.
The kitchen comes equipped with an electric oven, gas hob and ample undercounter space for appliances like a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Direct access leads to the private rear garden, which has a grey-slated area and a convenient log store for the burner.
This leads onto a central lawned garden and, at the far end, there is a paved patio which offers a sunlit spot for garden furniture, complete with a rear access gate providing access to the street with the bins.
On the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious primary double and a versatile smaller double, currently utilised as a dressing room.
Serving this floor is an excellent family bathroom complete with both a full-sized bath and a separate shower cubicle.
Moving up to the converted attic, which has a dedicated landing corridor and stairwell and is a bright, multifunctional space, presently set up as a comfortable TV room and home office, but it has been used as a bedroom in the past.
Situated in the heart of the National Forest, the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch is renowned for its bustling, boutique-lined high street, timber-framed architecture and famous castle ruins.
Offering a vibrant community atmosphere alongside excellent local schooling and straightforward transport links across the Midlands, it provides a perfect backdrop for family life and commuter convenience alike.
