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
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this impressive four-bedroom detached family home occupies a fantastic position on Maxy House Road in Cottam and offers approximately 1,633 sq ft of beautifully presented, highly practical accommodation.
From the outset, the property has a strong presence, with an attractive detached frontage, generous driveway parking and integral garage.
Step inside and the sense of space continues, with a welcoming entrance porch opening into a bright hallway with access to the ground-floor WC and principal reception rooms.
To the front is a generous separate lounge, providing a comfortable space to relax away from the main family area.
The real showpiece of the home, however, is undoubtedly the superb 28ft open-plan kitchen, dining and family room stretching across the rear.
This is exactly the kind of space modern family buyers look for.
A series of rooflights floods the room with natural light, while wide glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden and help create a fantastic connection between inside and out.
There is ample room for a large dining table as well as a relaxed family seating area, making this a brilliant everyday living space and equally well suited to entertaining.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary units complemented by wood-effect worktops, integrated cooking appliances and excellent preparation and storage space.
A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside and provides additional workspace, storage and access towards the garage.
Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which are genuinely usable family rooms rather than token box rooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering plenty of space along with fitted wardrobes and its own generous en-suite shower room.
Further fitted wardrobes are provided to additional bedrooms, giving the property an excellent level of built-in storage, while the remaining rooms would work equally well for children, guests or home working.
A stylish family bathroom completes the first floor.
A particularly pleasant feature is the current open aspect to the front, with several front-facing rooms enjoying views across neighbouring fields and mature greenery, helping give the property a greater sense of space than many homes on modern developments.
Outside, the rear garden is another strong feature.
Predominantly laid to lawn with a paved seating area, it provides plenty of room for children, pets and outdoor entertaining, while still offering scope for a future owner to personalise or landscape further.
To the front, a broad driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with access to the integral garage offering further parking, storage or potential flexibility subject to any necessary consents.
Situated in the popular Cottam area of Preston, the property is well placed for local schools, shops, amenities and transport links, making it an excellent option for growing families and commuters alike.
With approximately 1,633 sq ft of accommodation, four good-sized bedrooms, a spectacular 28ft open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, separate lounge, utility room, integral garage, generous garden and no onward chain, this is a superbly proportioned modern family home that really does deserve to be viewed.
