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
A three bedroom semi-detached house requiring some updating in a very popular conservation area.
Description Built in 1961,7 St Johns Road has been in the same ownership since new and whilst it has been a much loved and well maintained family home with double glazed windows throughout, it will benefit from some updating and refurbishment.
There is potential, subject to the relevant planning permission, to extend. The property is approached over a paved driveway with access to a single garage and off-road parking.
The front door opens into an entrance hall which to the right gives access to a cloakroom with WC. To the left of the hallway is the open-plan living/dining room.
This is an incredibly bright room with floor to ceiling windows at the front and these are mirrored to the rear left side of the dining area so light floods through the entire space.
There is a useful serving hatch through to the living room from the dining area.
The kitchen has a range of wall and base units, some integrated appliances to include a cooker and plumbing for a washing machine.
There is space for a small table and also access out to the rear courtyard.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all with eye level clerestory windows ensuring lots of natural light and privacy. There is also a shower room on this floor.
The garden to the front is mainly laid to lawn with some mature shrubs and borders.
There is a gate through at the side of the house to the rear courtyard which has a recently re-laid patio area and garden shed. The garage is accessed from the front driveway and has power.
