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.

This property is a fine example of a well proportioned and beautifully appointed barn conversion set within an exclusive gated development and offering a superb semi-rural location yet extremely convenient for access to Chester.
The gated entrance leads to the driveway and garage along with a substantial front garden leading to the property.
The house has enviable proportions and has a perfect blend of modern fittings but retains plenty of character and charm with exposed beams.
There is a spacious entrance hall providing access to all ground floor rooms.
The focal point of the house is an extremely impressive open-plan kitchen with living and dining space opening out to the rear garden.
The kitchen is beautifully finished with wall and base units along with an island. This room offers spectacular everyday living space and is perfect for entertaining.
The kitchen is served by a separate utility room which also gives an alternative access door to the front garden.
At the other end of the hall there is a spacious sitting room with glazed doors to the garden and dual aspect with window to the front garden.
There is also a separate study, along with store cupboard and a downstairs W.C within the hall. At first floor level there is an excellent choice of bedrooms and bath/shower rooms.
Both bedrooms one and two have excellent proportions, built-in wardrobes and both benefit from an en-suite shower room.
There are two further double bedrooms (bedroom four is currently used as a dressing room). There is also a well appointed family bathroom.
The house enjoys both front and rear gardens which are fully landscaped and offer a range of patio, seating area, shrub borders and lawns. They are surrounded by high walls for privacy.
There is a rear access gate from rear garden to communal outside space. The front garden has a large lawn and provides driveway parking along with a garage block for additional storage.
The development is very private with electric entrance gates and sits just a couple of miles from Chester along the back lanes.
It offers easy access for local schooling and transport links yet benefits from a lovely rural setting surrounded by open countryside.
Picton is a small hamlet on the edge of Chester and offers the perfect blend of countryside living and easy access to the city, making it an ideal location for families.
Surrounded by beautiful rural landscapes, it provides a peaceful, scenic setting, yet is just a short drive from Chester City Centre and the motorway links, making it perfect for commuters.
There are local shops, schools, and green spaces nearby in both Mickle Trafford and the suburban areas of Chester including Upton and Hoole which are just a short drive away through the country lanes.
