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
An exceptional four-bedroom detached family home built by Bloor Homes in 2024 & extensively upgraded throughout. Occupying a prime cul-de-sac position, garage, and generous plot.
Description Occupying a privileged position at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac within the highly regarded Thorsten Fields development, this exceptional four-bedroom detached residence represents a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new home that has been enhanced well beyond its original specification.
Constructed by Bloor Homes in 2024 and still benefiting from the remainder of its NHBC warranty until 2034, the property combines the efficiency and sustainability of modern construction with a carefully considered programme of high-quality upgrades rarely encountered within this price range.
The current owners have taken what was already a beautifully designed family home and elevated it through bespoke joinery, luxury flooring, decorative panelling, fitted wardrobes, extensive landscaping and numerous practical improvements.
The result is a turn-key home of genuine quality, offering stylish contemporary living with a level of finish more commonly associated with higher-value properties.
Extending to approximately 1,535 sq ft including the detached garage, the accommodation is both spacious and thoughtfully arranged.
The welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone, featuring upgraded Amtico herringbone flooring which flows throughout the ground floor and complements the contemporary oak internal doors found throughout the property.
A useful storage cupboard is positioned beneath the staircase, whilst a beautifully appointed cloakroom featuring a modern Roca suite and elegant half-height tiling lies off the hallway.
The living room provides a sophisticated retreat, enhanced by bespoke decorative wall panelling and a striking marble fireplace surround incorporating an electric log-effect fire and a generous window draws in natural light.
At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space.
Designed for modern family living and entertaining, the kitchen has been upgraded with a stunning granite waterfall island and benefits from a comprehensive range of cabinetry and integrated AEG appliances including an induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher.
French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
A living area lies off the kitchen/diner with a feature bay window which enjoys attractive views towards open green space and conservation land opposite.
Electric blinds, quality window furnishings and privacy film to all windows further enhance the finish.
A cleverly concealed utility area provides practical laundry facilities while maintaining the sleek appearance of the living spaces.
The first floor continues the impressive standard of presentation and offers four generously proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom suite enjoys bespoke panelling, fitted mirrored wardrobes by Kingston Cabinetry and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room.
The second bedroom is another generous double room with decorative panelling and fitted wardrobes, whilst the third bedroom benefits from a dual-aspect design and further fitted storage.
The fourth bedroom is notably larger than many modern equivalents and functions as a genuine double bedroom, offering extensive storage together with feature panelling.
A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is fitted with contemporary tiling, quality sanitaryware and both bath and shower facilities.
The property occupies one of the finest plots within the development. The landscaped rear garden has been redesigned to create an exceptional outdoor entertaining environment.
A substantial patio terrace with contemporary glass balustrading provides excellent space for outdoor dining and relaxation beneath the attractive pergola.
Artificial lawn has been installed for ease of maintenance, whilst carefully designed planted borders introduce colour and seasonal interest.
Further enhancements include feature lighting within flower beds, uplighting to specimen trees, external heating provisions and irrigation pipework.
The garden is enclosed by attractive boundary walls and enjoys a high degree of privacy.
The detached garage has also been upgraded and benefits from boarded loft storage with ladder access together with a recently installed garage door.
A generous driveway provides parking for three vehicles, with additional space to the side of the property. An electric vehicle charging point has also been installed.
Further practical additions include partly boarded loft storage within the house and solar panels, contributing to the home's excellent environmental credentials and lower running costs.
