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 particularly charming Grade II listed period town centre cottage boasting sympathetically presented living accommodation which retains a range of character features, alongside an attractive and easily maintained rear courtyard garden, conveniently situated within the heart of Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 11 Talbot Street in Ellesmere for sale by private treaty.
11 Talbot Street is a Grade II listed period town centre cottage which has been lovingly maintained by the current vendor, to now provide around 575 sq ft of sympathetically presented and characterful living accommodation arranged across two floor and benefitting from a range of traditional features such as exposed beams and brickwork.
The property is complemented by a rear courtyard garden which has been much improved and which now represents a wonderful and easily maintained accompaniment to the home, with ample space for sitting out.
Situation - 11 Talbot Street is located close to the heart of the lakeland town of Ellesmere, which boasts a respectable range of amenities for its size, including Schools, Supermarket, Medical Facilities, and a range of independent shops, whilst also being well situated for access to the wider area and, in particular, the larger towns of Oswestry, Whitchurch, with the county centres Shrewsbury and Wrexham; both of which are reachable in less than 30 minutes.
Schooling - Within a comfortable proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools including Ellesmere Primary School, Ellesmere College, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras School, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestfelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls, and Moreton Hall.
The Property - The property is principally accessed via an enclosed, walled front garden from where stairs lead up to a front door which opens into a generously proportioned Reception Room, this providing ample space for seating and dining, and boasting a wonderful array of period features, which include exposed ceiling timbers, dual-aspect windows, and, as a central feature, an exposed brick fireplace housing a "living-flame" gas fire.
The Reception Room gracefully segues through, via an archway, to a Kitchen positioned to the rear of the property.
The Kitchen has, in recent years, benefitted from a scheme of modernisation and now provides a range of fitted base and wall units with work surfaces over, alongside a window onto the side elevation and a stable-door which exits directly onto the courtyard garden.
Stairs rise from the Reception Room to a first floor landing with recessed storage cupboard, from where doors provide access into two comfortably sized Bedrooms, these served by a family Bathroom which comprises a fitted suite featuring a panelled bath, low-flush WC, and hand basin, all set against partially-tiled walls.
Outside - The property is approached via a compact front garden retained within attractive brick walling with traditional coping, from where steps rise to the front door.
Notably, the property is complemented by a rear courtyard garden which has been systematically improved by the current vendor and which now serves as a charming accompaniment to the home, with an area of artificial lawn retained within painted brick, alongside raised beds and a timber gate which leads to the side of the property.
To the rear of the property is a stone storage shed.
