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
Lane & Holmes are delighted to bring to the market this three-bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous plot in the highly sought-after Putnoe area of Bedford.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home with huge potential on a generous plot in a prime position just off Putnoe Lane.
The property offers fantastic potential and is ideal for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home.
While some of the house would benefit from some modernisation, the kitchen has already been updated to a high standard with sleek contemporary units, granite worktops, and integrated appliances.
The ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hall, cloakroom, bright and spacious living room with bay window, separate dining room, and conservatory overlooking the rear garden.
The kitchen is complemented by a utility area and access to the garage. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, along with a shower room and a separate WC.
One of the real highlights of this property is the substantial rear garden, which offers excellent scope for extension (subject to planning) and provides a wonderful space for families to enjoy.
The large frontage also provides off-road parking and access to the garage.
Hartshill runs parallel to Putnoe Lane and can be accessed from Greenacres or Stancliffe Road, and is ideally situated to take advantage of a wide range of amenities.
Bedford’s sixty-two acre Victorian park with its café, public tennis courts and leisure centre is within walking distance, as is Mowsbury Golf & Squash Centre and Mowsbury Park and Putnoe Woods, ideal for leisurely walks and where another park café and further public tennis courts can be found.
The property is well located for access to Bedford’s town centre with its full range of shopping, recreational and highly regarded independent and state schools.
Bedford’s station is also handy for fast and frequent services to the capital as is Bedford’s southern bypass that links the A1 with the M1.
