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
The Agents View Offered with no onward chain is this charming two bedroom semi detached home is full of period character and timeless appeal, believed by the seller to date back to the mid 1800s.
From the moment you arrive, the generous driveway immediately stands out, offering parking for three to four vehicles which is a real rarity for a home of this era.
The front of the property enjoys a due south facing aspect, with a small seating area ideal for soaking up the sun.
Trellis and mature climbing vines provide a welcome sense of privacy from the road while still allowing plenty of natural light.
Inside, the ground floor offers a wonderfully proportioned reception room that comfortably accommodates both living and dining areas.
A large open fireplace sits at the heart of the room and offers fantastic potential to become a real focal point.
The hallway provides access to two particularly handy storage cupboards, adding valuable practicality that is often missing in homes of this age.
A modern downstairs shower room sits neatly off the hallway, while the kitchen is positioned to the rear with a door opening directly onto the low maintenance courtyard garden.
The courtyard gives access to a useful rear building which houses a home office and a very large shed, ideal for storage, hobbies or further workspace.
There is also a side gate from the front of the property, allowing convenient access to the rear without passing through the house.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a generous double with built in wardrobes and a beautiful feature fireplace that further highlights the home’s period charm.
The second bedroom is a well arranged single, again benefiting from built in storage and making excellent use of the space.
Overall, this is a character filled home offering flexibility, practicality and charm, set within a highly convenient location.
