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
This traditional terraced home has 4 double bedrooms and a huge rear garden that’s rarely found so close to the town centre.
From the front, the property stands out with its crisp white painted exterior complemented by distinctive blue painted surrounds to the windows and front door.
The entrance opens directly from the pavement into the welcoming hallway, immediately giving the home the feel of a traditional Highland townhouse.
The lounge sits at the front of the property and is centred around an attractive stone fireplace with slate hearth, creating an obvious focal point full of character.
An alcove with built-in cupboard storage sits alongside, while the large front window allows plenty of natural light into the room.
Moving through to the kitchen and dining area, you’ll find one of the largest rooms in the house. The layout gives you plenty of space for cooking and family dining.
It has a limited range of fitted cabinets, generous worktop space and access to the rear vestibule.
While the kitchen is of a more traditional design, its size and layout provides an excellent foundation for a modern redesign, allowing you to update it to suit your tastes.
Beyond the kitchen, the rear vestibule opens to the garden and to the ground floor bedroom.
This room is a good size double and provides excellent flexibility as it could serve as guest accommodation, space for an older relative or a private home office.
Finished with neutral walls and grey carpet, it benefits from its own en-suite shower room which is fitted with a toilet, wash basin and white framed shower enclosure.
Completing the ground floor is the bathroom which contains a coloured suite comprising of a bath, hand basin and toilet.
Decorative wall tiles surround the bath area, while white painted timber panelled walls add to the property's traditional feel.
Although perfectly useable, this is another room where you may wish to modernise to suit contemporary tastes.
Upstairs bedroom two is a generous double room with grey painted walls, grey carpet and a large window providing good natural light. A radiator is positioned on the internal wall beside the door.
The third bedroom features striking dark blue painted walls, grey carpet and a front facing window, creating another comfortable double bedroom.
Bedroom four has white painted walls and light grey carpet and includes useful open shelving built into an alcove, providing practical storage.
Outside the rear garden stretches far beyond what you might expect from a town centre home, with a large lawn bordered by mature shrubs, hedging and trees that create an attractive and private outdoor setting.
A detached block built store gives you valuable external storage or workshop space.
Homes with this mix of generous accommodation, four bedrooms and such an impressive garden, are difficult to find within town centre locations.
For buyers looking to put their own stamp on a traditional home while enjoying excellent outside space then this is a property you must see.
