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.

A particularly attractive sitting area benefits from a skylight and views over the garden, bringing in excellent natural light and creating a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.
The large modern kitchen provides an impressive heart to the home, while all three bathrooms have been refurbished to a high standard.
Outside, the property benefits from a substantial multi-car driveway with separate entry and exit, designed in a convenient chalet-style layout that makes parking and manoeuvring considerably easier.
The loft has also been fully boarded with wooden laminate flooring, plastered and painted, creating an excellent and clean additional storage area.
Located in a quiet and safe residential neighbourhood, the property is conveniently positioned close to local shops, Outstanding Schools and public transport.
