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
A immaculately presented, semi-detached house available with no onward chain.
The property features a great garden that is ideal for entertaining as it features a summer house providing a lovely place to sit in the warmer months, a lawn with raised borders and a section at the rear of the property that features artificial grass.
The accommodation comprises of an entrance porch that opens into the living room that is arranged around a log burning stove in the fireplace and a window that offers a great view over the town towards Durham road in the distance.
Turning a corner there is a great kitchen/diner with a selection of units in two tone white and grey, both in high gloss with wooden effect worktops and some integrated appliances such as gas hob with extraction above and electric oven below.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and the bathroom/wc. Both bedrooms enjoying a great view over the town.
in our opinion, this house would make a fantastic first time buy due to the great location, outside space and general appearance, which is excellent.
