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.

Includes 22ft entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, 31ft kitchen/dining/family room, study, living room, two cloakrooms, utility room, two ensuites, private gated entrance with ample parking and approx.
150ft rear garden BACKGROUND The property was built in 1936 originally as a doctors residence with an accompanying surgery practice and over time segments of land have been sold so the house now benefits from a gated private driveway, set back and tucked away from the road.
The house is individual in design, offering well balanced accommodation whilst benefiting from large feature corner windows and balconies to the front of the house with Canadian pine flooring on the ground floor.
The current owners have upgraded many parts of the house and have added a two storey rear extension which is incorporated in to the main house but equally could be set as an annexe facility.
