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 wonderfully spacious detached family home set in the heart of Diggle village. Offering easy access to an excellent range of amenities, viewing comes highly recommended. EPC: Tbc.
Having been well maintained by the current owners, the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation but offers excellent potential to create a superb family home.
A personal inspection will reveal an entrance hall with a kitchen and useful utility/side porch just off.
A bright and spacious lounge takes full advantage of the impressive views to the front, while stairs lead down to a sitting room with sliding doors opening out onto the rear garden.
The landing can be accessed from both the sitting room and the entrance hall, providing access to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a shower room comprising a low-level WC, hand wash basin, and shower enclosure.
To the first floor are two further double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a three-piece shower room.
The property is warmed by gas central heating via a Vaillant combination boiler and further benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows.
Externally, to the front, the property is set behind a mature lawned garden, with driveways to both sides providing off-road parking for up to five vehicles.
There is also a garage (4.89m x 2.42m), offering additional parking or useful storage space.
Gloucester Drive is situated just off Dorset Avenue, which in turn connects to Huddersfield Road, in the desirable village of Diggle.
The location provides convenient access to the surrounding Saddleworth villages, including Delph, Dobcross, and Uppermill, all of which offer a range of independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs, and leisure facilities.
Families will also appreciate the property’s proximity to Saddleworth School, making this a particularly appealing option for long-term family living in a well-connected area.
