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.

Additional features include double glazing and gas heating. Externally there is drive parking for two cars, an enclosed rear garden and a useful home office.
Ideal for First Time Purchase or Investment. Viewing is strongly recommended. Situation - Favoured Bowood View development which was built by 5 star builder Bellway Homes.
A well-spaced layout incorporates a large central park space with a children's play park, wildlife areas that wrap around the outside, providing walks and places to relax.
Deer have even found their way onto the green spaces opposite this property. A new village hall has recently been opened.
The real selling point of this development was that it isn't part of a much larger scheme and is within walking distance to both Melksham town centre (approx.
15- 20 mins) or the canal at Semington village.
There are countryside walks also right on your doorstep and there are proposals to extend the canal very nearby and a local shops and primary school care around 10 minute walk.
A bus route into Melksham and onwards to Bath (or Devizes in the opposite direction) offers great transport links, the A350 and onwards to the M4 is easy to access and the train station is a 30 minute walk or 10 minute cycle away.
The nearest school is Aloeric primary which is convenient, as well as a small Morrisons shop within the garage which is perfect for those essentials.
Melksham is a lovely bustling town, with a good range of amenities and more independent shops and cafes/restaurants opening all the time.
Boasting a wide range of supermarkets, from Aldi to Waitrose all in the town, there really is something for everyone.
The new central "Community hub" has recently opened where you will find a brand new state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool, fitness classes, kids activities and the library.
Local schools are within walking distance and the amenities on the high street offer everything from local independents to larger national stores.
With the train station giving access to Swindon and onward lines to London/Bath and Bristol, the A350 taking you up to the M4 and surprisingly swift road access to Bath, it really is an excellent area for transport links.
In addition, there are plenty of beautiful countryside areas to explore on foot or by cycle, with the National Trust village of Lacock, riverside walks and the Avon & Somerset Canal nearby.
