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
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the highly sought-after Hayes development, on the southwest side of Ipswich, is this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home.
The property offers excellent access to the mainline train station as well as the A12 and A14 commuter trunk roads, making it ideal for those needing convenient transport links.
The current owners have recently installed a new block-paved driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles.
They have also enhanced the rear garden with a newly laid patio, artificial lawn, and smart new panel fencing, creating a stylish and low-maintenance outdoor space.
As agents, we highly recommend an early internal viewing to fully appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer.
The property comprises an entrance hall, lounge, spacious kitchen/dining room, first floor landing, family bathroom, and three bedrooms.
The county town of Ipswich offers a range of local amenities including schools, university, shops, doctors, dental surgeries, hospital, two theatres, parks including the popular Orwell Country Park, recreational facilities, and mainline railway station providing direct links to London Liverpool Street Station with a journey time of approximately 1hr 15mins.
