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
Occupying an enviable position on Clapham Common Westside, this handsome six/seven-bedroom Victorian house offers approximately 3,727 sq ft of living space arranged over five floors.
Finished to the highest of standards, it benefits from grand proportions throughout with a full basement and an elegant blend of contemporary design and original features with uninterrupted views of the common.
The smart front door opens into a large entrance hall with Victorian tessellated tiles.
To the right is the impressive double reception room which benefits from high ceilings with intricate cornicing, a magnificent feature fireplace flanked by cabinetry and shelving and the striking bay window which floods the room with natural light.
Wooden floors run throughout and there is ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table, making the room ideal for family life as well as entertaining.
The expansive kitchen family room is to the back of the property and wonderfully bright thanks to the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors which run across the full width of the back of the house, and a large rooflight.
The kitchen has an excellent range of sleek wall and base units with fully integrated appliances, stone quartz worksurfaces and a large island/breakfast bar.
The sliding doors lead out to the south-west-facing landscaped garden which is surrounded by attractive fencing and raised flowerbeds with rear access to the back, ideal for muddy boots, bikes and dogs.
It is the perfect spot for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months.
Stairs from the hallway lead down to the lower ground floor and a fantastic family room as well as a double bedroom with good built-in wardrobes and a bay window into the lightwell, a shower room adjacent and a useful utility room and storage.
A stunning reception room is arranged to the front of the first floor, making the most of the far-reaching views across the common.
An elegant feature fireplace is flanked by bespoke cabinetry and shelving and if preferred, this room would be entirely suitable as a bedroom.
Two further double bedrooms are on this floor, along with a family bathroom.
Stairs lead up to the second floor and the impressive principal suite with substantial bespoke wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with twin sinks, freestanding bath and separate shower.
Another double is to the back of this level with good built-in wardrobes, garden views and an en suite shower room.
On the top floor is another double bedroom with lovely rooftop views, an en suite with a shower and excellent eaves storage.
