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
Occupying a generous plot, this detached family home offers exceptional space, flexibility and outstanding potential for improvement.
Although now requiring modernisation, the property benefits from excellent proportions throughout and provides buyers with the exciting opportunity to create a bespoke home finished to their own taste and specification.
The accommodation is far larger than typically expected from a three-bedroom property and comfortably rivals many four-bedroom detached homes in the surrounding area.
The ground floor has two reception rooms, which create a flexible layout and a spacious breakfast kitchen alongside the generous reception rooms offers excellent versatility for modern family living.
Subject to individual requirements, the straightforward removal of an internal partition wall could create an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with direct access onto the private rear garden, perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles.
Upstairs, the feeling of space continues with three exceptionally generous double bedrooms.
The large landing incorporates two substantial storage cupboards, which combined with an oversized family bathroom presents exciting potential for reconfiguration, and the opportunity to create a fourth bedroom or bathroom/additional shower room or en-suite.
Externally, the property enjoys a wide frontage with a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a tandem double garage, ideal for secure parking, storage or workshop space.
Furthermore, the generous areas to both sides of the property offer considerable potential for extension, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents.
In our opinion, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly rare.
