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
If space is high on your wish list, 20 The Ferns is a home that deserves a closer look.
This extended four-bedroom semi-detached property offers considerably more accommodation than you would typically expect from a home of this type, thanks to a substantial double-storey extension.
The additional space has been put to excellent use, creating a larger kitchen at ground floor level and an extra bedroom above, giving the house the flexibility that modern family life often demands.
A conservatory provides another useful reception space, while a separate WC complements the main family bathroom.
Throughout, the property has been very well maintained and is presented in a condition that allows the next owners to move straight in and make themselves at home.
Outside, there is driveway parking to the front, while the rear garden provides a private space for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying some fresh air. The location is another major strength.
Ashton-on-Ribble has a well-established community feel, with everyday amenities, local shops, schools and bus routes all close at hand.
The Roebuck School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School are both nearby, while Ashton Park and Haslam Park provide plenty of green space for walks, exercise and family time.
For commuters and those who enjoy the convenience of city living, Preston city centre is only a short distance away, with Preston railway station providing connections across the North West and beyond.
Local road links also make getting around Lancashire straightforward.
With its generous extended accommodation, four bedrooms, driveway parking, conservatory, garden and move-in-ready presentation, 20 The Ferns offers a practical family home in a well-connected part of Ashton-on-Ribble.
