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
It is with great pleasure that Rea Estates offer to the sales market ‘Oakridge' a large 5 Bedroom Detached Dormer Bungalow, set within its own grounds and boasting far reaching open views across the surrounding countryside.
The property is situated in a semi rural spot on the outskirts of Crook.
The growth in popularity of property in this area in recent times reflects the combination of tranquil natural surroundings combined with accessibility and ease of commuting, the A1(M) being within easy reach providing access to the major commercial centres of the North East.
The property is a credit to the current vendors who have recently overseen an extensive refurbishment programme, including re-fitted kitchen and bathrooms, redecoration and flooring.
Space is an important factor in this property with all of the rooms being generously proportioned in both floor area and ceiling height.
