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 bay-fronted semi-detached house in a sought-after Whitchurch location, occupying a generous corner position with excellent scope for modernisation, reconfiguration and further extension, subject to planning.
The property offers two bedrooms, three reception rooms, kitchen, two bathrooms, parking, detached garage and enclosed garden. Offered with no chain and vacant possession.
A bay-fronted semi-detached house occupying a particularly attractive corner position at the junction of Westbourne Road and Kingsland Road, offering generous existing accommodation together with considerable potential for modernisation, reconfiguration and further extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents being obtained.
The property has previously been extended by the former owner and now provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors.
Whilst requiring modernisation throughout, the house offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a substantial and highly individual family home, with the existing footprint providing an excellent foundation from which to improve and enhance.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch opening into a welcoming entrance hall, with access to the principal reception rooms and ground floor shower room.
There are three versatile reception rooms comprising a well-proportioned living room, dining room and sitting room, providing a good degree of flexibility for modern family living, entertaining or working from home.
To the rear is a fitted kitchen which, subject to the requirements of the purchaser, could form part of a larger scheme of refurbishment and reconfiguration.
To the first floor are two generous bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The bedrooms are well proportioned and, together with the reception accommodation on the ground floor, provide a spacious framework from which to create a comfortable and contemporary home.
A particular feature of the property is its corner position.
Being situated on the junction of Westbourne Road and Kingsland Road, there is scope to explore the possibility of a further side extension, subject always to the usual planning permissions, building regulations and other consents being obtained.
The combination of the existing extension, generous accommodation and position offers considerable potential for those seeking a property which can be remodelled and improved to their own specification.
The property further benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing, off-road parking, a detached garage and an enclosed rear garden.
Westbourne Road is a popular residential address situated just off Heol Don, with this particular property positioned towards the upper end of the road, close to the junction with Kingsland Road and Westbourne Crescent.
The location combines the established residential character of Whitchurch with excellent accessibility to both Whitchurch and neighbouring Llandaff North.
Whitchurch is one of Cardiff's most established and sought-after northern suburbs, offering an appealing village atmosphere alongside the convenience of being within the capital city.
The village provides a strong range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants and other local services, whilst the surrounding residential streets are particularly popular with families and those looking for a well-connected community with a strong local identity.
The area is also well regarded for its choice of educational provision, with sought-after English- and Welsh-medium schools available at both primary and secondary level.
Cardiff Council provides separate catchment information for English- and Welsh-medium primary and secondary schools, and prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding individual school catchments and admissions.
For commuters, the property is particularly well placed for public transport, with Llandaff North railway station within a short walk, whilst the Taff Trail and surrounding riverside routes provide excellent opportunities for walking, running and cycling.
Road communications are also highly convenient, with straightforward access to the A470 and, in turn, the M4 motorway.
Cardiff itself is the capital city of Wales and offers an extensive range of cultural, sporting, retail and leisure facilities, together with a major commercial centre and excellent transport connections.
The city's combination of historic character, green open spaces, established residential neighbourhoods and modern amenities continues to make it an attractive place in which to live, work and invest.
Offered to the market with no onward chain and vacant possession, this is a property which is likely to appeal to purchasers seeking a well-positioned home with genuine scope for improvement and enlargement.
The corner position, existing extension, generous accommodation, parking and detached garage provide an excellent opportunity to create a substantial home in this highly regarded part of Cardiff.
