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
Summary An exceptional extended detached residence, offering over 1,800 sq ft of highly versatile living space, boasting four generously proportioned reception rooms (one enhanced by a wood burning stove) and a beautiful modern breakfast kitchen.
The outstanding tiered and landscaped rear garden (approx. 50m/164 ft long!) enjoys a sought after south westerly orientation and showcases an incredible backdrop of the Lickey Hills.
Discreetly positioned along a private road off Ten Ashes Lane, and forming part of an enclave of just five other properties, the property is idyllically positioned between the Lickey Hills and Cofton Park yet within easy access of Barnt Green, Longbridge and the Midlands motorway network.

From the hall, two versatile front facing rooms (detailed on the floorplan as a sitting room and dining room) offer flexibility to suit a variety of needs.
A generous living room provides a superb main family space, centered around a wood burning stove and enjoying double doors that open into a conservatory, perfectly positioned to take in the outstanding views across the garden.
The beautifully appointed modern kitchen overlooks the rear garden and offers ample space for breakfast dining.
It is fitted with a range of integrated appliances, including a bosch eye-level electric oven, combi oven, fridge, dishwasher and gas hob.
The kitchen also leads through to a practical utility room with direct access to the garden, housing the boiler, and in turn connecting to a further storage room with front external access.
To the first floor, a generous principal bedroom enjoys stunning views over the garden and beyond and is fitted with a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes, drawers and two bedside tables.
There are two further well proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a cleverly designed en suite shower set into the eaves.
The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite, including both a bath and a walk in shower.
A split-level section of the landing leads to a fourth, single bedroom, complete with useful eaves storage.
Please note, a lift is currently installed between the dining room and bedroom three, which the sellers have offered to remove at no cost to the buyer if preferred.
Outside Outside, the exceptional south-westerly facing rear garden is undoubtedly a standout feature. Thoughtfully landscaped and beautifully stocked, it offers year round interest and enjoyment.
A large decked terrace provides an elevated vantage point across the garden, with steps leading down through carefully arranged planting to a charming two tiered pond.
Beyond this lies a generous level lawn with a raised circular rose bed, and a discreet fenced area at the far end suitable for composting or additional storage.
The entire garden is enclosed by hedged boundaries and enjoys a breathtaking backdrop of the Lickey Hills.
To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a useful attached storage building, ideal for bicycles and outdoor equipment.
