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
Introducing 10 Dene Road, where solid craftsmanship meets standout opportunity. This well-built, 3-bedroom home is your canvas for an exceptional family lifestyle.
Practicality and convenience happen in abundance right from the front doorstep. Inside, everyday living is effortless.
The driveway delivers you straight to the side entrance for easy kitchen access when unloading.
The kitchen, accessed from a side entrance close to where you will park your car in the drive, offers a practical range of wall and base units for excellent storage.
Alternatively, step through the smart front door into a wide, welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the spacious accommodation beyond.
This property offers very flexible family spaces: Two large reception rooms bring layout versatility, with a characterful multi-fuel stove anchoring the lounge.
It looks out onto the east-facing garden where the morning sun rises directly ahead.
The elegant bow-fronted bay window might be an ideal conversion to French doors opening onto a terrace in the garden, and even a barbeque, offering a dual aspect to the lounge, ideal for entertaining.
A substantial dining room - again with the bow-fronted bay window - makes a real statement at the front.
It would accommodate 10-12 seated at a table, meaning that friends and wider family can be catered for at those special times.
Facing west means that diners can enjoy the evening watching the sun set from the table.
Upstairs, two generous doubles, a comfortable single, plus an additional attic room - ideal as a charming bedroom, a quiet home office, or storage - make 10 Dene Road the ultimate in terms of potential and versatility.
So this property is large enough to cater for a family but it also offers the facility to work from home. Outside, the East-West facing rear garden is a dream for green-fingered buyers.
There's ample room for raised beds, a vegetable patch, and a sun-trap patio. Tailor it into your private sanctuary, with endless possibilities.
Meanwhile, the garage houses all your gardening and DIY materials.
Occupying a highly regarded residential position, 10 Dene Road enjoys the best of both worlds: a peaceful, established setting, that is approximately 650 metres from the historic town centre.
