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.

It is constructed of stone beneath a Staffordshire blue tiled roof with the front elevation having an attractive double fronted appearance revealed by matching character sash style windows, stone lintels and sills and a central entrance porch with entrance door with inset window with leaded finish.
