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
27 St John’s Road is a handsome 1908 semi-detached home that has been comprehensively re-engineered and extended, then finished to a standard rarely found in the open market.
Behind its retained period frontage - bay window, brick detailing and conservation-style timber-framed glazing - lies a turnkey, energy-efficient family home arranged over four floors, with not a detail overlooked.
A welcoming entrance hall opens into a bright, bay-fronted reception that flows through to the heart of the house: A spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room.
Created by a full-width single-storey extension, this space is crowned by a glazed roof lantern and opens to the garden through full-width bi-folding doors, flooding the rear of the home with light.
The kitchen is appointed with a handmade island, stone work surfaces and a full complement of integrated appliances, with a bespoke banquette built into the island - a considered, joinery-led design throughout.
The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms served by a luxurious family bathroom - freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, twin vanity and statement tiling.
A full-width dormer extension to the second floor provides two further bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with its own en-suite shower room.
Period detailing - deep cornicing, ceiling roses - has been reinstated and paired with designer lighting, engineered timber herringbone flooring and fitted joinery throughout.
Crucially, the house is also future-proofed: Solar pv with battery storage, an air source heat pump and wet underfloor heating deliver low running costs behind conservation-style detailing that preserves the building’s character.
