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
This spacious detached property is situated in a highly sought after and well established residential area of the popular village of Orrell, in a small cul de sac of just a handful of houses.
The appeal of this lovely village is ever growing with its great range of amenities creating a thriving atmosphere loved by families.
Orrell has a great range of shops, with some lovely bars and eateries for catching up with friends, and has a wide range of practical amenities to boot.
There are highly regarded schools and colleges within walking distance, some lovely countryside walks, and a train station with links to Manchester and beyond!
The accommodation in this lovely house comprises briefly of an entrance hall, large lounge with dining area, seperate reception room for sitting or dining, a dining kitchen, ground floor WC, three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property has gas central heating and UPVC double glazing and externally there is a block paved driveway leading to a very generous garage and there are beautifully kept gardens to the front and rear.
This has been a much loved family home for many years and the lucky buyer will see various ways in which they can update and modernise the property to their own taste, but we think this has potential to be a fantastic family home for its next custodian.
