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
Suzanne Regan and team are delighted to bring to the market this truly exceptional and character-rich five bedroom detached home — a rare and remarkable residence steeped in history yet upgraded to a superb modern standard throughout.
Originally built in the early 1900s as part of the vicarage for St Mary Magdalene Church (affectionately known locally as “the blue roofed church”), this property has a fascinating heritage and unique presence.
Situated in a historic part of Chapelfields — once a thriving watchmaking trade street with much local craft and industry centred around Craven Street — this house carries with it stories and character that few homes can rival.
Set back from the road and occupying a substantial plot, the property benefits from off-road parking and generous outdoor space. Inside, the accommodation is impressively spacious and versatile.
A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a convenient guest WC, before you are drawn into the beautifully presented front reception room featuring a bay window — ideal for formal living, relaxing with family or welcoming guests.
At the heart of the home is the spacious open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, created by opening and extending the original layout.
This modern space is perfect for everyday family life and entertaining, with a thoughtful utility area and side access, as well as patio doors leading seamlessly into the rear garden.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylishly updated family bathroom, while the second floor reveals an additional fourth bedroom with ample storage, providing a flexible space for modern living.
Outside, the rear garden offers a wonderful private space with patio, enclosed by fenced boundaries for peace and security.
A garden room has been thoughtfully constructed — ideal for a home office, gym or studio, reflecting contemporary lifestyle needs. The location of this home could not be more convenient.
Nearby Allesley Old Road and Hearsall Lane provide excellent main bus routes into Coventry city centre and straight to Warwick University, while Hearsall Common is just a few minutes’ walk away — a beautiful open space for walking, sport and relaxation.
Earlsdon High Street is also a short stroll, offering a vibrant collection of cafes, bars, eateries and independent shops.
Set in a historic and much-loved neighbourhood, this property is a true one-off, combining heritage charm with contemporary living.
With its superb presentation and abundant space inside and out, it represents a unique opportunity for discerning buyers seeking something special.
Early viewing is highly recommended — this property is ready for its next chapter and sure to impress.
