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 Fairytale Home in the Heart of Acton Trussell Full of Space, Character & Charm This isn't just a property it's a one-off masterpiece.
Set on a vast plot in the heart of Acton Trussell, this striking detached home with its turret, spiral staircase, and impressive proportions will have you falling in love before you even reach the front door.
A large private driveway welcomes you home, with space for four vehicles plus not one but two garages ideal for cars, storage, or your next hobby project.
You can enter via the 'North or South Wing', we are heading in via the North Wing entrance straight into the hallway and head further along to the main lobby area, which gives internal access to one of the garages, a handy downstairs toilet, and the vast conservatory at the rear flooded with natural light and perfect for year-round relaxing or entertaining.
Wandering through into the South Wing, you'll find the practical boiler room housing dual gas boilers and a high-pressure water cylinder more than ready for the demands of busy family life.
There's a generously sized double bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and a built-in wardrobe perfect for guests or older children.
Adjacent is a flexible room that could easily serve as a second reception, teen lounge, or even a games room. Need to work from home?
There's also a smaller room overlooking the garden ideal as a peaceful study, home office or even a nursery if needed.
Now completely in the South Wing, where the spiral staircase makes a bold first impression.
We come to one of the crown jewels a massive ground-floor bedroom, full of natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows.
There's space for a full bedroom suite here and more, and it comes with a private ensuite for ultimate comfort.
Climbing the beautiful spiral staircase through the turret feels like stepping into a storybook and although Rapunzel isn't up here with her abundance of hair, we do have an abundance of space!
At the top, you're greeted by a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner dual-aspect, incredibly bright, and full of space for hosting dinner parties or cosy family meals.
There's room for a large table, and the double doors open into a huge living area that's all about the views.
The lounge is vast and of course elevated, and from your balcony, you can enjoy morning coffees, evening drinks or quiet moments with a view over the canal and surrounding countryside.
It's peaceful, it's private, and it's something truly special. Back in the North Wing, you'll find a spacious family bathroom with both bath and shower, plus three more superb bedrooms.
One features an ensuite, built-in wardrobes, and even a private roof terrace your own hidden escape. The other two are big doubles with lovely front-facing views and built-in storage.
Now let's talk garden. It's huge but not overwhelming with space to roam, play, entertain or relax.
The conservatory flows onto a raised decking area with a built-in outdoor kitchen and a substantial outbuilding that could be a home gym, bar, workshop or garden room.
This is the perfect home for large families, multigenerational living, creatives who want inspiring space, or those dreaming of countryside calm just a short hop from town life.
There is nothing like this locally and once you see it, you'll know it's the one.
