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 fantastic opportunity to purchase a two-bedroom semi-detached home, situated within a quiet residential cul-de-sac.
The property benefits from a generous south-facing garden and is offered to the market with no onward chain, making it an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers or investors.
Location - Located within the popular residential area of St Budeaux, the property is ideally positioned just three miles from Plymouth City Centre.
Local amenities, schools, parks and train stations are all within walking distance, while regular bus services provide convenient access to Plymouth and the surrounding areas.
Accommodation - The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with a downstairs WC, leading to a spacious double-aspect reception room with ample space for both relaxed seating and dining.
At the heart of the home is a kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of matching units and a door providing access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two double bedrooms, both enjoying views over neighbouring rooftops and beyond, together with a family shower room.
The shower room was originally a third bedroom and was converted by the current owner.
There is potential to reinstate this as a third bedroom, with the existing downstairs WC potentially converted back into a shower room.
Outside - To the front is a tiered garden with steps leading down to the entrance, together with side access to the rear garden.
The generous south-facing rear garden features a number of seating areas, mature planting, two timber sheds, and a workshop, providing excellent outdoor storage and practical space.
