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
Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac within Poppy Close, Locks Heath, this extended three/four bedroom semi-detached home offers impressive square footage, versatility and excellent value for its size.
The property has been thoughtfully improved and maintained over the years.
The rear extension, completed in 2004, significantly enhanced the ground floor footprint, creating a superb open-plan living environment ideal for modern family life and entertaining.
This addition also enlarged the kitchen area to form a spacious kitchen/diner, now very much the heart of the home.
The kitchen itself was newly fitted in August 2024, providing a contemporary finish and practical layout suited to everyday use.
In addition, the family bathroom was replaced in November 2025, offering a fresh and modern space with the benefit of a window for natural light and ventilation.
Further improvements include a boiler installed in 2020, which has been serviced annually, giving reassurance from a maintenance perspective.
The former garage has been converted to create a versatile additional reception room, ideal as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom or snug, adding flexibility rarely found in similar homes locally.
Upstairs, there are three well-balanced bedrooms, notably without the typical box room often associated with three-bedroom properties, making this an excellent choice for growing families.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking directly to the front door, comfortably accommodating two vehicles side-by-side.
The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, combining hard landscaping with artificial lawn to create a practical and usable outdoor space.
Poppy Close is a well-regarded residential setting positioned just south of Locks Heath Shopping Centre, offering convenient access to local schools, parks and green spaces, along with everyday amenities.
This is a spacious and versatile home in a highly convenient and family-friendly location.
