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
Property Description A beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached home situated on the popular Poppyfields development in Barrow upon Soar, built by well-regarded local Leicestershire housebuilder Jelson Homes.
Stylish, modern and ready to move straight into, this is a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, young couples or those looking for an easy-to-maintain home in one of Charnwood's most popular villages.
The current owners have presented the property exceptionally well, with neutral décor and a fashionable finish throughout.
Outside, the same attention has been given to the rear garden, which has been landscaped to create a great space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months.
Entrance Hallway The property is approached via a particularly neat frontage with block paving and decorative stone, while a driveway to the side provides valuable off-road parking.
Step through the front door and into the entrance hallway, which provides access to the ground-floor accommodation and staircase rising to the first floor.
A useful downstairs WC sits off the hallway and includes a wash hand basin and double-glazed window to the front.
Kitchen The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units complemented by tiled flooring and tiled splashbacks.
There is a gas hob with extractor above, electric oven, plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with space for a fridge and freezer and a dishwasher.
The property's combination boiler is neatly incorporated within one of the kitchen cupboards, while a double-glazed window provides natural light.
Lounge The main living space is a generously proportioned lounge with plenty of room to create both comfortable seating and entertaining space.
Stylishly decorated and beautifully presented, this is a room that works equally well for quiet evenings at home or having friends and family over.
A useful understairs storage cupboard provides somewhere to keep everyday clutter out of sight, while French doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, connecting the living space with the outside.
First Floor Landing Returning to the entrance hallway, the staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there is access to both bedrooms, the family bathroom and the loft.
Bedroom One Positioned to the front of the house, the principal bedroom is an excellent-sized double with a double-glazed window, radiator and useful built-in storage/airing cupboard.
The neutral décor continues here, making this another bright, stylish and ready-to-move-into space.
Bedroom Two The second bedroom is positioned to the rear and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the landscaped garden through a double-glazed window.
A versatile room, it could work particularly well as a guest bedroom, child's room or a combination of bedroom and home-working space.
Family Bathroom The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
There is extensive tiling, a chrome heated towel rail and extractor fan. Outside The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners and is a real extension of the living space.
French doors from the lounge open onto an extended patio area, providing an ideal spot for garden furniture, summer dining and entertaining.
Beyond this is a lawn with planted borders, all enclosed by fencing to create a private and manageable outdoor space.
To the front, block paving and decorative stone create a smart, low-maintenance approach to the house, while the driveway to the side provides off-road parking.
