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
A well-presented and deceptively spacious three-bedroom end-of-terrace family home, ideally positioned within a private and welcoming cul-de-sac of just twelve dwellings, overlooking the picturesque River Lea.
Offered chain free, this modern home combines contemporary living with a peaceful setting, making it perfectly suited for families and professionals alike.
The ground floor offers well-balanced accommodation, featuring a bright and airy living room measuring approximately 15ft, enjoying views over the beautifully maintained, south-west facing rear garden.
A well-appointed kitchen provides ample storage and workspace, complemented by a convenient ground floor WC and welcoming entrance hall.
Upstairs, the property comprises two generous double bedrooms, a well-proportioned single bedroom, and a modern family bathroom, all finished to a high standard.
Externally, the home continues to impress with a circa 60ft south-west facing garden, mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining.
A particularly unique feature is the private access from the garden directly onto the River Lea, offering a tranquil and scenic backdrop.
To the front, the property benefits from a private driveway with EV charging point, along with a separate garage equipped with lighting and electricity.
Further benefits include close proximity to highly regarded primary and secondary schools, and convenient access to Harpenden mainline station, located approximately 0.9 miles away, providing excellent transport links.
With additional potential to extend subject to the usual planning permissions, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a stylish and well-located home in one of Harpenden’s most desirable settings.
Riverbanks Close is a peaceful cul-de-sac located in North East Harpenden. Nearby are a range of shops, pubs and takeaways and the Lea Valley nature reserve is just a few moments walk away.
Harpenden town centre is just over a mile away, offering a wider range of facilities and a mainline station providing access to London in under thirty minutes.
