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

Built in 1879, this cottage was the first home on Whinbush Grove to be painted, creating what is now a unique and colourful terrace of buildings in Hitchin.

of accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with a staircase leading to the first floor landing, a sitting room, a kitchen/dining room, utility room, and a bathroom.
The first floor provides two bedrooms, one with double windows over the front and the other overlooking the garden, and a cloakroom. The property is situated on a private, unadopted lane.
To the front, there is pedestrian access, an old overgrown garage, and parking for one car. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard with a path that leads down to Whinbush Road.
Property details The sitting room features double-glazed sash windows with internal shutters to the front and wood laminate flooring.
In the kitchen/dining room, there is a range of units, a stainless steel sink, a wall-mounted gas boiler, and an understairs cupboard.
