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
Situated in one of Chester le Street's most sought after residential locations, this beautifully presented bay windowed semi detached house occupies a great plot, with a large, enclosed back garden, making it ideal for family buyers.
The appealing character has been retained within this traditional style property, and the accommodation has been greatly enhanced with an extension to the rear, adding an additional breakfast room opening from the kitchen, a utility and a ground floor wc.
There are two separate reception rooms, and both feature wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. The living room at the front has a bay window.
The dining room has French doors leading out to the patio and an attractive back garden.
The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has been refitted to include cream coloured units, hardwood worktops, a cooking range and extractor, a traditional style Belfast sink unit and an integrated dishwasher.
This perfect family living space also provides access to the attached garage with a remote-controlled door.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a good-sized refitted bathroom, including a free-standing roll top bath and a large walk-in shower enclosure.
The improved specification includes gas central heating with a Baxi combination boiler, uPVC double glazing and roofline, a replacement electric consumer unit and replacement oak internal doors.
High calibre family homes are rarely available in this desirable location, so early viewing is highly recommended.
Lyndhurst Avenue is situated in an established and sought-after residential area on the northern outskirts of Chester-le-Street town centre.
It is easily accessible to the town's many shops, schools and amenities.
Chester-le-Street remains very popular because of its excellent road links to Durham City, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland.
Good bus routes linking Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne run through the North Lodge area, and Chester le Street has a train station on the main east coast line, linking London and Edinburgh.
