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
Situation Combeside is a peaceful cul-de-sac on Bath’s sought-after southern slopes, set within the semi-rural landscape of Lyncombe Vale.
The area offers beautiful walking and cycling routes including Alexandra Park, the Two Tunnels Sustrans Way, National Trust Prior Park and the Bath Skyline trail.
Local amenities on Bear Flat are close at hand, and both Widcombe and Bath Spa Station can be reached on foot.
Widcombe offers a thriving community with a social club, pubs, cafés, supermarket, pharmacy and independent shops.
Bath itself provides extensive cultural and leisure amenities, from restaurants, galleries and theatres to Bath Rugby and the Thermae Spa.
High-speed rail services run from Bath Spa to London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads. Description Built in 1980, no. 4 Combeside is one of four detached properties in this quiet cul-de-sac.
A generous hallway rises to a landing, with a WC and understairs storage.
The ground-floor living spaces (excluding the kitchen) have wooden floorboards and glazed doors that allow each room to be used independently or opened to create a more flowing layout.
The sitting room overlooks the front garden and features a wood burner set flush into the wall.
To the rear, a light-filled 2016 extension includes the music room, which offers built-in storage and shelving, and the adjoining playroom/study.
The kitchen is a bright space, fitted with dove grey cabinetry, granite worktops and a gas range cooker. The dining room opens onto a south-facing deck, enhancing the home’s indoor–outdoor connection.
A utility room sits to the rear of the kitchen with access to the terrace. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two ensuite, along with a family bathroom.
The rear ensuite bedroom enjoys extra-large Velux windows and a glazed door opening onto a Juliet balcony, while the front ensuite bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a wooden balcony.
Outside The property sits within a tranquil, green setting surrounded by mature planting. At the front, hedging and pathways mark the boundaries of the four houses, creating an open and natural feel.
