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 attractive ROSTRON BUILT SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE occupies a lovely position along a POPULAR RESIDENTIAL ROAD, conveniently placed for a choice of well-regarded schools, FORMBY TRAIN STATION and FORMBY VILLAGE.
Offering approximately 1,100 SQ FT of accommodation, the property has all the ingredients of a wonderful family home, with generous room proportions, a good-sized plot and plenty of potential for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on somewhere.
One of the appealing features of this particular Rostron design is the SPACIOUS ENTRANCE HALL, which creates an immediate sense of space and continues through to an equally generous first-floor landing.
Unlike some traditional semi-detached houses, the layout also provides a particularly GOOD-SIZED THIRD BEDROOM, making all three bedrooms genuinely useful.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL with a CLOAKS/WC, a comfortable FRONT-FACING LOUNGE with a wide bay window and a separate DINING ROOM overlooking the rear garden.
The KITCHEN sits immediately alongside the dining room, offering obvious POTENTIAL TO RECONFIGURE the existing arrangement and create a more contemporary, open-plan kitchen and dining space.
Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to THREE GOOD-SIZED BEDROOMS, a BATHROOM and a SEPARATE WC.
The generous proportions and traditional layout provide an excellent starting point for modernisation, while the roof space may also offer POTENTIAL FOR A LOFT CONVERSION, subject to the necessary consents.
The property would benefit from GENERAL UPDATING AND MODERNISATION, although this presents an opportunity for a purchaser to create a home entirely to their own taste.
There is also considerable SCOPE TO EXTEND, subject to planning permission and the necessary approvals, making this a property with genuine longer-term potential.
Outside, the property occupies a GOOD-SIZED PLOT with established gardens to the front and rear.
The WEST-FACING REAR GARDEN is a particular attraction, enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine and offering plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, family activities or future extensions.
With its generous accommodation, sought-after location and excellent potential, this is a property that should appeal to buyers looking for a home they can improve and enjoy for many years to come.
Offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
