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
Two-bedroom mid-terrace house that is very modern and located within a gated development.
Situated at the northern end of Kidlington, the property is conveniently positioned close to Oxford Airport and benefits from excellent transport links, being within the Oxford SmartZone bus network and close to Oxford Parkway railway station, providing direct services to London.
The accommodation comprises two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower cubicle on the ground floor.
A wide staircase leads to the first floor where the property really comes into its own, opening into a spacious and airy open-plan kitchen and living area.
High vaulted ceilings and skylights flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere that is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
The generous living space offers plenty of room for separate seating and dining areas, while the contemporary kitchen is fitted with built-in appliances including a dishwasher, as well as a separate fridge and freezer.
The property also enjoys a desirable canal-side setting, with several local pubs nearby and attractive walking routes along the towpath.
A particularly appealing feature is the scenic walk into Oxford, making the most of the surrounding countryside and waterways.
