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

However, there is the option to continue the existing business by separate negotiation, should the buyer wish.
The premises benefit from a generous retail space with two entrance doors and large dual display windows, complemented by a rear shop area.
This leads through to a staff kitchen/office and a separate staff toilet.
With versatile potential, the property could suit a range of uses including a clothing boutique, general retail outlet, or office space.
