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
Comment from Oliver Weston of Gascoigne Halman Being brought to market for the first time in over 25 years this brilliant property is an exciting and rare opportunity.
Thanks to a previous extension the home now combines to a generous 1,654 square feet of living space that has been impressively maintained and upgraded over the years to present excellently.
The property is located along Platts Lane in Tarvin village and is within walking distance of the local primary school, community centre and the further amenities on offer along the High Street.
Upon arrival you will note the somewhat exceptional amount of space to the front of the home where a large tarmac driveway and gravel area provide ample off road parking space for multiple cars.
To the side there are two large sheds for external storage whilst at the rear is an Indian stone patio area, lawn garden and bedding areas with some brilliantly colourful mature plants and trees.
Internally, the ground floor boasts a very practical and well thought out layout offering a degree of flexibility to suit different needs.
To the left of the entrance hall you can find the main living room with its feature fireplace and large window for natural light.
This enjoys an open plan design connecting through to the dining room at the rear with its sliding glass doors onto the rear patio.
For versatility, on the opposite side of the entrance hall is an additional reception room that’s currently set up as a snug but could serve as a home office or play room as required.
The kitchen sits at the rear of the home and the stylish wooden units combine well with the worktop and fixings for a modern look. Off the kitchen is the utility room with cloakroom toilet.
To the first floor are four well proportioned bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en suite shower room whilst the spare rooms are served by the family bathroom.
With its strong location, impressive living space, excellent presentation and generous plot there is plenty to appreciate so for a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or the Gascoigne Halman Tarporley office.
