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
Currently operating as a licensed student HMO, this substantial detached property offers excellent flexibility and could be returned to a traditional residential dwelling, subject to the necessary change of use as part of the sales process.
Combining generous living space, ample parking and a well-established garden, it presents an attractive opportunity for both investors and owner-occupiers.
The accommodation is approached via a spacious entrance hall, creating a welcoming first impression.
The ground floor features a well-proportioned living room, ideal for relaxation and entertaining, alongside a fitted kitchen offering an abundance of storage and worktop space with inset sink.
The kitchen is equipped with an integrated hob, oven and extractor hood, with additional space for a fridge and freezer.
A door leads through to the utility room, which provides a sink, plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with direct access to the rear garden.
Also on the ground floor are two generous double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom enjoys views over the front aspect, while the second double bedroom offers flexibility and could easily be repurposed as a formal dining room or additional reception space if desired.
A useful lobby area provides further storage, and the family bathroom is fitted with a corner bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC.
The first floor comprises three further double bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own en-suite WC and wash basin. Useful eaves storage adds to the practicality of the accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys off-road parking for up to three vehicles to the front.
To the rear, the generous garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by a variety of mature shrubs, established planting and an attractive palm tree.
Additional features include a useful storage shed and greenhouse, creating an excellent outdoor space for gardening enthusiasts and families alike.
Whether retained as a high-yielding investment property (currently earning £24,948 p/a) or converted back into a spacious family home, this versatile detached residence offers a wealth of potential in a highly adaptable layout.
Conveniently located close to local amenities, schools, and transport links.
Since taking the photographs, the owner has done some redecoration, replaced some flooring, updated the shower room and bathroom and made sure the property complies with current regulations.
