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 beautifully presented two-bedroom end-terrace home, occupying a fantastic position in the heart of Hoole and just a short walk from the independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars of Faulkner Street and Charles Street.
With a recently installed kitchen, newly fitted wardrobes to both bedrooms and a south-facing rear garden, the property offers stylish, well-proportioned accommodation in one of Chester's most desirable locations.
The property opens into a welcoming living room, where a large front window allows plenty of natural light into the space.
A traditional fireplace creates an attractive focal point, complemented by contemporary décor and wood-effect flooring.
An open connection leads through into the generous dining room, creating a sociable and versatile ground-floor layout.
There is ample space for a full-size dining table alongside additional seating or a home-working area, while a feature chimney breast and fitted shelving add character.
French doors at the rear open directly onto the garden, allowing the dining space to benefit from plenty of natural light and providing an excellent connection between the house and outside space.
The recently installed kitchen sits to the rear and has been finished in a contemporary shaker style, with an excellent range of fitted units, contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks.
A large window overlooking the garden further enhances the bright feel of the room. Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms.
Both bedrooms have the added benefit of newly installed fitted wardrobes, providing an impressive amount of built-in storage while maintaining plenty of usable floor space.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous, while the second bedroom provides an excellent guest room, children's bedroom or home-working space.
Completing the first floor is a spacious bathroom fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin with useful fitted storage.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed south-facing rear garden, a particularly attractive feature for a home in this location.
Designed for relatively low maintenance, there are paved and decked areas providing plenty of space for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining, while the southerly aspect makes the most of the sunlight throughout the day.
Being an end-terrace, there is also useful pedestrian access alongside the property.
Location Phillip Street is superbly positioned for enjoying the lifestyle that makes Hoole such a sought-after part of Chester.
